I planned a lesson to teach to first years on persuasive writing with Sarah, Matthew, Cillian, Udo and Sean
We presented it to a first year class and I really enjoyed it because I got to try something new but I'm certain I don't want to be a teacher now..

We decided to organise a Christmas Lio Sync Battle to fundraiser money for Barretstown. We were in charge of organising it with a bit of help from Mr MacManus and Mr Munnelly. We separated into groups for different things that needed to be looked after for the event to run smoothly and I was a part of the charity group. Our main job was to find ways to raise money during the event for example, a tuck shop or raffles.

On the 8th of November we went to the Lighthouse Cinema. We watched a movie called Róise agus Frank which was story of  widow who was still grieving over the death of her husband when a dog started showing up in her life. She was convinced her husband was reincarnated as the dog until one day it went missing and she found it help comfort a little girl over the death of her father. It was a very heartwarming story and easier to watch than other Irish movies.

For the first maths module we focused on financial maths. We planned the best value holiday for the Smiths where we used skills such as gathering, analysing and presenting data. I worked on the project with Safa and Mike. After a few weeks of working on the project, the three of us presented the PowerPoint to the class where we got 48/60 marks.

The two TY classes worked together to try and plan a gaa tournament for the first years. We spent a long time plann mg it but when the day came it was too icy to do it in Brigids so we ended up doing basketball and soccer in the hall. I helped out with the hot chocolate stand, where all proceeds went to Barretstown. It was a very successful event even though many details were changed last minute.

For the second maths module, we focused on statistics. We went over stuff from the Junior Cycle along with new material and I really enjoyed doing statistics. We were assigned a statistical investigation on whatever question we wanted. My group, Victoria, Ben and Oscar decided to investigate whether the amount of books you read affects the amount of time you  spend studying.

We covered another modules in Future Leaders, which was focused on Performance Analysis. We learned how top teams analyse their performance in their matches and how they organise this data. We got to then analyse any match of any sport of our choice and make a presentation about the performance of the team. I choose the 2021 Ladies All-Ireland Final against Meath. In a group of 4 me, Sarah, Sean and Aoife worked out the shots, sidelines, fouls and kickouts for the Dublin team.

After many weeks of practicing and preparing for the musical, it was finally time for the performance! We had four shows over the three days and it was a very nerve wracking but a memorable time. I enjoyed every moment of it, from being on stage and even all the backstage moments of us messing around backstage. It was definitely one of my favourite times in Ty

Every Friday we went to a primary school for a couple of hours, I went to St Brigids which was my own school so it was nice being back. I was put with a second class (in the same room I was in) and helped the teacher with little things to make their job slightly easier. I did things such as glueing homework into the kids copies for the next week, helping certain kids with the maths and irish work to helping out with their friday art
I really enjoyed going to the primary schools and it was something i looked forward to doing every friday

Favourite Barretstown Fundraiser: Musical

Overall, TY was so much busier than Inthought it was going to be. We always have a trip, workshop or some sort of event going on. Most of the things we've done is stuff i've never done before. I loved gaining new experiences such as work experience, community involvement which have also given me new skills. I also found that over the year I made many new friends as I got closer with different classmates during different activities. These things include PE and trips and I'm very grateful we all got to bond and grow as a year group together.
