Ty Amina :)

Transition Year - Week Uno 
On the 31st of September we started back to school early to see the school had changed . There was new plasma screens, the outside of the building was painted a different colour and they had moved the lockers around. The plasma screens are turbo deadly , they brighten up the whole corridor. At 9.05 we were put into our base classes , i got put into class Amina , which means truth and honesty in some African language. I must say we all get on great together as a class which is brilliant. Our class tutor is Ms O'Callaghan , shes great we also have Ms O'C for pe which is alot of fun. Our base class got separated into 3 groups for our options. I am in group C. We got introduced to our new teachers Ms Mc Ardle, Mr Walsh, Mr Dooley, Mr Seery and Ms O Hanlon. Once we settled down to work we were told what fun things we would be doing through out the year, such as home economics we will be making outfits out of a t-shirt and a pair of three quarter lengths and one person from the group will be modelling the outfit at the end of year fashion show. 
This Monday we had a social development with Mr Austin Dunne. It was a fantastic day. Our whole class seemed to enjoy it. Basically the aim of the day was to build 'mega confidence' and get to learn more about each other. We done so many activities as a group and got to learn more about ourselves. We took a personality test. There are 4 groups , red , blue , green, yellow. We got put into one of the colours according to our personality. I was put into the yellow group which means 'mad cow' along with 4 other girls. The day turned out really well. It was a great start to Transition Year. I cannot wait for Carlingford bonding trip on Monday .
