March - School Musical

This year we did Hairspray for our School Musical.  We did 2 nights and one day and a Dress Rehearsal.  It was really fun and a great experience. I was a Black Person and since i'm white I had to wear black make-up. There was lots of songs and dances to be learned well obviously it was a musical. there were lots of main characters in it which was good for our year cause most of our year are good at singing and dancing :)

The First Thing We Did In Transition Year

September 2013

In September we went to Killary in Galway. I really enjoyed Killary. I enjoyed all of Killary but my favorite part of it was the Gorge walking and jumping off the cliff ! I'm really afraid of heights so I found jumping off the cliff, climbing the rock wall and climbing up the pole really hard but i tried everything despite my fears :)
Staying in the place was really fun. i was in a room with five of my best friends it was really great and i would love to go back there again :)
