Hometown of St Brigid

On Tuesday the 7th of February, all of TY travelled to Kildare town, the hometown of St Brigid. We left the school at 9.15 and arrived in Kildare town at 10 o'clock.
  First we watched a short video about the town of Kildare and we then went to visit St Brigids cathedral and round tower. We looked around the cathedral, and went out and saw the round tower and Brigids kitchen. We then walked to the first well built by Brigid and we all walked around the well. We then went to the second well and had a short prayer service. We then went to Kildare village outlet and got Starbucks:)
  We were all tired by the end of the day but we enjoyed it. Thanks to the religion teachers for bringing us on the trip.

Heading to Cork

Last week, my drama group 'Tich Miller' found out that after performing our drama in the Briery Gap theatre Mullingar a few weeks ago, we got through to the next round in Cork!
  We are all really happy to have gotten through and we are the only group in all of the school who got through. The next round in Cork is on Saturday 3rd March so now we need to get practising and perfecting our drama.

St Brigids Day

Today is the 1st February, St Brigids day, and next Tuesday, the religion teachers have organised a trip for all TY's to go to Kildare Town, hometown of St Brigid. We are going to be going to visit St Brigids well.
   Our class were given the task to design the prayer room for St Brigids day, we organised ourselves into different groups to do this, the designers, the music group, the art group and the history group and we came up with our ideas. Today we just need to add the finishing touches and it will be done.
