Our TY trip to Achill was an unforgettable experience. We tried kayaking, surfing, walking, orienteering, and cycling. Each activity brought a new experience. I really enjoyed the scenic views from the walk over the hills and through the abandoned famine village. As well as the magnificent scenes that we saw whilst on the bike ride along the Irish greenway. Whilst on this cycle I may have gotten into a crash and badly brassies my toe.

The surfing was great craic as well , was also by far my a favourite. Hitting the waves were radical, by far the best part of the trip, the late night giggles and the occasional singing was very funny as well .

We did drama which was very amusing. I found it very funny especially after we got made to give a partner a cat walk to do. As well as this we played a game where you had to get to one side of the room to the other whilst holding a stick with only one finger between your partner. In the begging I had very low expectations for this workshop but in the end I found it very fun.

Going to the comedy club was actually brilliant. I thought it was going to be awkward, but the comedians were hilarious and had everyone crying laughing after a few minutes. It felt more like a night out than a school trip, just without the chaos. The whole thing was really good craic and everyone came out in great form afterwards — easily one of the best TY days we’ve had.

Seceret street tour.  In the seceret street tour we learnt about the history of Dublin castle and Steven’s green. One of our tour guides told us about a story from when he was younger when him and one of his mates snuck off to New York. We also got told about how at one stage Dublin castle was the most secured place in Ireland when Margot thatcher stayed there.

The orientation trip aroundPhoenix Park on bikes was actually pretty decent. At first I thought it'd be boring, just cycling behind the teachers, but it was actually fine once we got going.The park is huge and it was nice to be outside for a change. A few of us saw some deer, which was kind of cool. It was just a chilled day, nothing too exciting, but not bad at all

Epic museum: the epic museum wasn’t as bad as anticipated. It was interesting to learn about the story’s of people from the past and their emigration story’s. I also enjoyed the interactive screens that where placed around the museum as they were fun to yous and very informative.

Town treasure hunt: the treasure hunt in town wasn’t to bad apart from the absolutely Baltic temperatures in the city centre. There were definitely some arguments over whether or not it was the right shops name. But of course it was still fun. However to my dismay bambino’s was closed which was quite upsetting.

Illusion museum: I found the illusion museum to be one of the better trips that we’ed gone on so far. It was fun to mess around with some of the props and participate in some of the illusions such as the shrinking room where it makes you really large on one side in the room and really tiny in the other. It was really fun even for the short time we were there.

Reptile petting zoo: the reptile petting zoo was class, I’ve always enjoyed animals and found them fascinating, this includes reptiles such as snakes and turtles etc. my personal favourite reptile to handle had to of been the geckos. They where more friendly than expected and where so fun, we got told that if you very lightly pinch they’re back legs they’ll jump away so it was so sick to see them jump away.

For the Christmas reward trip we went to Smithfield markets where we started of by going to the cinemas around the corner and watching a Christmas movie which turned out to be ELF which in my opinion is a Christmas classic and one of my personal favourites. After the cinema we were given about half n hour to go around the market before we went ice skating. As anticipated I was horrific at ice skating, how ever I only fell over once and it wasn’t my fault because and I may have been pushed.

The sleep out has to be a highlight of the year. Although I came unprepared and forgot a pillow it was still good and great craic. Me , Lucas and Alex shared a tent which was definitely a tight squeeze to say the least . The set up of the tent was by far the worst part of it due the constant collapsing of the tent and the tent poles.

Swing yard: swing yard so far has to be my favourite trip by a mile, I enjoyed it the most. I believe this is due to the fact that I play golf outside of school. We mainly did long drive contest in which I arguably one although my drive was out of bounds which was sadly the furthest one of the day.

In the junior hurling this year was extremely fun. Sadly it came to an end sooner than expected, we started off the season by playing against maynooth cc in which we hammered them by about 15 points. Sadly I couldn’t make the next match against firehouse cc in which won that one as well, not sure by how many points as I went on the Monday trip instead but from what I heard it was a easy enough match.

The next match was against Moyle Park in which I played in nets due to an injury. This match was truly a brilliant match in which it came down to the wire. Sadly Moyle Park came up on top on the day and bet us by about a point or so. This sadly ended the junior hurling season.

Doing CrossFit for the 6 weeks was actually better than expected . It definitely could have a bit harder as it was reasonably easy and there was definitely not really a lot of time spent there. It was still enjoyable. Definitely better than doing handball in my opinion.

The barista course : the barista course thought us the basics of how to use coffee machines and how to make a latte or a mocha. Once we made our own mochas we got to go around and ask teachers what they wanted sadly half of them had already been asked or they didn’t drink coffee.

Breath School : in breath school we learned different breathing techniques to help calm us down when feeling anxious or nervous. We were also made test how long we could hold our breaths while walking up and down a class room and counting our steps. This was to help on concentration whilst not being able to breathe and how to not hyperventilate after holding our breaths while walking

The next match was being played the day of the TY Christmas exams which made stuff awkward however we worked around this by doing the exams in the first two classes than we where back by the last class for the Irish exam. The actual match was good. We definitely could have won however Mr Boyle didn’t want us to win as he thought that getting into the cup wouldn’t be good as we would get knocked out instantly.

The first day we had to be up at all hours just to be at the airport at half 4 in the morning, so it was a groggy morning to say the least. Once we arrived in Italy our first stop was Verona in which me and Lucas got a pizza which was so nice. After the pizza we were running late to get back to the meeting point but luckily they had only gone into the amphitheater there.

As well as this we did a boat tour around the coast of the lake in which we saw a very old Roman villa. After this we made our way to a massive  shopping centre in which I went looking for presents in. And then sadly we had to go home.
