Mullingar Drama trip

Last Tuesday everyone in t.y. went to Mullingar to see Banba and Eiriu compete in a drama contest. We left the school at nine o'clock in the morning and my class, fodla were on the smaller bus and the other two classes were on the bigger bus. I sat beside Emily on the way down.
The competition was on in a small theatre in the Mullingar centre for arts. There were two other schools at the competition and we watched their plays. There was four t.y. plays on in total from Saint Wolstans. Two of them were adaptions of poems (Titch Miller and Mid term break) but the other two were made up from scratch. The plays were very good and they dealt with strong issues such as suicide, bulling and the death of young children. There was one man and one woman there apart from our school to watch the plays and to judge weather they get into the competition or not.
After we had seen the plays we went to Mullingar town for lunch. When we were in McDonald's, Lisa popped a balloon by accident and everyone was staring at her, it was funny.
After we left McDonald's (with our complementary balloons, of course) we walked back up to the centre and the we started on the long journey home to Kildare. Emily fell asleep on the way back and we got home approximately forty minutes ahead of schedule. It was a very fun day and I found the plays enjoyable with strong performances from our school in particular.

Hello :)

I haven't blogged in a while but happy new year to everyone. Last week we started Indian head massage, zumba dancing and band for our Thursday activities. I'm writing this blog in religion. For the next few weeks we are researching Saint Brigid so we can possibly link up with a school in Australia or wherever and teach them about Saint Brigid. My group are making St. Brigid's day crosses.
Thats all for now and thanks for reading! Please comment!
