Swim A Mile and Retreat

Last  week we went to swim a mile. We arrived and got changed into our togs and went out to the pool. Just after ten. Brian Daly then explained the plan  after this we went and started to swim. I was put in a team of four it included Eimhear Smith , Anita and Chloe. Chloe just to let you know you looked fab. We had to swim 16 lengths each to complete the mile. Once we completed it we all decided to try swim the mile ourselves. I got 3/4 's of it done but then time was up. Well done to Anita who was planning to do 10 laps but ended up doing 40 laps instead !!  We also got free t shirts which was shamazing. After swim a mile we got to go to Blanch for food and to hang around for awhile and do some window shopping since i don't have any money :'). It was actually a really enjoyable day. And well done to everyone :)).

We had our retreat yesterday in NUI Maynooth. It was  really enjoyable. We arrived at around 10 ish. Our first activity was this game where there was four people in the middle of the circle , these were the dentists and then everyone on the outside of the circle sat on the floor and linked arms , we were teeth. The aim of the game was for the dentist to try and pull us ( the teeth) out of the circle. It was hilarious. It brought out the violent and crazy side of everyone and definitely woke us all up. We then played the raft game where one person calls out a number of people thats meant to be in a group and then you have to get into that sized group. I was doing good until Roisin shoved me out and made me die. Thanks Roisin. After this we had a break for a few mintues and went back into a discussion about various topics. We did this until we had to have our other break where we went to Starbucks ! I got the nicest hot chocolate ever. So.Nice. We then went back into discussion until we had to leave. I really liked the day.

Hip hop and preparing for T.Y night.

We have been doing hip hop for two weeks now.  We have been learning a dance for our TY Night.The dance will be to Ariana Grande's song Break free and Beyonce's song Run the world. I have been really enjoying hip hop so far even though we have only had two sessions its still been really fun.After Break free the music goes into an instrumental Karen ( our hip hop teacher)  gave  us the task of coming up with our own choreography for this instrumental. On the night the plan is to split into three groups and each group dance a separate part of the song. Hopefully it will all go smoothly !!! 
   




 We are also organizing a song in French and  well obviously music. For french the two classes are joining up to preform the song Summer Paradise by simple plan and well obviously we are doing the french version !!!  For music we are doing a mix of two songs , these songs are wavin flag by K'nann and never forget by take that. I will be playing guitar for both as I cant sing at all in any way. :')  We are going to have displays for the other subjects.
