3,2,1,... Action!!

On Tuesday, all the Transition Years went to Mullingar for the Briary Gap Drama competition. We had been working on our dramas since October, so all our nerves were building as the day came closer. On Tuesday Morning, we all walked to the bus, arms full of props, from hats to gravestones, and we headed off for Mullingar. After a loud (thanks to Laura Smyth attempting to sing Super Base -.-) and exciting bus journey, we arrived at the Arts Centre in Mullingar town. We had a quick rehearsal, and went straight off to change, before being called the stage to preform our version of Seamus Heaney's poem 'Mid Term Break'. Before we knew it, our performance was over and we watched the rest of the ty's plays. After everyone play was over, we were free to go around Mullingar town! We went to McDonald's and had as great time before heading home.
Overall it was a really great day!!

English, English & English?

Last Wednesday, class Eriú went to 'Fighting Words' in Dublin for a creative writing workshop. We left school at 1 o'clock and when we arrived, we straight away started some creative writing. We brainstormed together to start an essay, and before we knew it, we had written the first page of an essay about two 16 year olds who are best friends. After we had the basis to a story, we were divided into groups of three, and we each finished the essay however we liked. It was an enjoyable day and it helped us how to think when starting to write an essay.
