BRAVEFORCE

So last wednesday, all of T.Y. went on an assault course in co. meath... it was called braveforce. I can safely say that it was one of the best days of T.Y. so far. I absolutely LOVED IT.
There was lots of muddy water and things to hop over, and it was tough, but we all managed to finish. By the end of the day we were soaking wet and we had to go up inot a freeeeeeeezing cold warehouse to dry off and get changed. words cannot desribe the coldness of that room. My hands were shaking and my lips were blue, i could actually see my own breath. It was well worth it though!
When we were all dry and changed we went into a room for the presentation of przes, and our school won the biggest enrty :) we got a trophy and brona got a medal for doing so well.
It was such an amazing day and next years tys should definately do it!!!

So last wednesday, class eriú had a drumming workshop. We were taught lots of different beats and lots of different styles of drumming... my favourite was the bass drum which was a big huge drum used for keeping the right timing. We also watched a dvd about drumming in africa which was very interesting.
I really enjoyed the workshop and it was brilliant

Work experience 2--- day 5

Today was my last day in the orchard and i was really sad leaving! I cant believe the week is over, Ive had such a great time.
My supervisor that i have been doing all my work with doesnt work fridays, so I was put with another person, and We had just gotten a shipment of animal thingys to put in your garden, so we had to put all of the barcodes on them, it took sooooooo long because we had to make sure the right barcode was on the right animal and it was a bit confusing. We spent all of our time from 9-2 doing that, and then afterwards i had a huge trolly of sweets chocolates and easter eggs to price.
then it was time to go, I'm really sad that thats all of our work experience over. I thought that it was a great oppertunity and well worthwhile because you really do learn so much from it.

Work experience 2--- day 4

Today I priced LOTS of sweets and set them out on display, and went around the shop making sure everythin was tidy. I also cleaned out and re-set the shelf that stocks all of the letters that you hang on your wall and all of the wellies (which were a Mess). I was also in charge of making sure all of the books were neat and tidy.
My biggest job of the day was pricing a load of things for the gift section and helping to set it out on display, which was fun but it took a LONG time.
I can't believe tomorrows the last day! the week went so fast!

Work experience 2--- day 3

Today when i went in the orchard was REALLLYY QUIET, and there wasnt much to do because the stuff coming out wasnt ready to be priced. So i was put on the books again!, you'd be surprised by how messed up it had gotten since yesterday, i did the usual clean around and making sure books were in the right places and then i moved to the front two tables and set them up really nice.. using my new "merchandising" techniques ;) . Then we got a shipment of teatowels with quotes on them, so i had so hang them up (in a very paricular way), After my coffee break, the stuff was ready to be priced So i did all that. Then i helped my supervisor set up the new stock on the shelves and in displays. That brought me up to lunch and then after lunch i had to peel price stickers off books and pack them into boxes to be sent back to easons. It was a good day and im really enjoying myself! :D

Work experience 2 day 2

Today I was really exited to start work seeing how much I loved yesterday! As soon as I got in I was given one of those huge industrial trollies full of stuff to price (me and my pricing gun are now BEST of friends :D when I was finished all of that I was given ANOTHER trolly. Then I was given a big candle table to set up a display with the candles, me being such a Perfectionist I arranged them in order of size, and guess what... I had to price them too :O I love pricing things! The gun is so fun to use :D and I'm getting faster :D woohoo!!!!
When I was done that I did.... More pricing, myself and my pricing gun are best friends now!! I named her Lola !! :D
Then after that I tidied the book and card section! And set up cushion displays :)
I really love work experience and I'm gonna miss it so much when the week is over!
