My First Week in TY

Transition Years in our school started back on Monday the 30th of August. The new, smaller year group made our way to the hall where we had a talk from Ms.Barry, Mr.Kerrigan and our year head Ms. Leonard. 

We were given our class names (Lagarde and Merkel), which were called after powerful women who were making a difference in the world today. I am in class Lagarde with some of my friends. 

On Wednesday the 2nd of September we had workshops on first aid and beauty and etiquette. (It was also my birthday!) In the beauty and etiquette workshop we learned how to dress in a professional environment and how to walk properly in high heels. Our first aid workshop showed us how to perform CPR and how to put somebody in the recovery position.  Both were very enjoyable. 

We started doing karate in the mill for PE on Friday. We learned various forms of self defense moves. My friends and I really liked the Karate in the mill and felt very cool when we did the kicks! 

My first week in TY was action-packed and fun-filled. I was tired on Friday evening after it all but I was glad that I chose to do it.
