An Amazing Trip To Carlingford!!

Hi everyone,
Sorry I have neglected my blog but we have been really busy doing TY activities!!!!

After the build up and the excitement of the awaited trip, Carlingford had arrived. Although most of us are not "morning people" we had to be up bright and early to get our bus to Carlingford.
Although the journey was long the bus was full noise and laughter.
When we arrived we were ready for the day ahead and most of us had finally woken up, although that could have easily been for all of the sweets we had on the way down.

We grabbed our bags and walked to Carlingford Adventure Centre. There we were split into groups and we set off for the first of our activities, Laser Combat!!!
This was great fun, crawling on the ground shooting your opponents, you couldn't get any better.
After lunch, we had our second activity which was team building activities which needed good communication. Then we had dinner which wasn't exactly up to scratch to the Chinese around the corner which most of us had after.
The next morning we woke early to "High Hopes" and slowly got ready for the day. After breakfast we set off for the first of our last day of activities. It was started by Communication Breakdown which was basically a dark maze then Archery and then body Zorbin which was amazing. After lunch we went Kayaking, to a trampoline in the middle of the sea and then to a cave where there was a legend that if you held you head under the waterfall for five seconds you gain an extra day of your life!!!!!!
The bus home was quiet, i think that was because most of us were asleep! Overall Carlingford was amazing and great fun!

Workshops!!! ;)

On Wednesday we had our first workshops. We had three workshops and our day was split up into three.
We started off with a workshop on how to build our self-confidence which was presented by Austin the presentation was called Life Without Limits. We had to talk about our most embarrassing moments, our hobbies and three great achievements. It was hard to think about our most embarrassing moments and most of us said that we didn't have any which was hard to believe.

Our second workshop was learning about how to deal with stress and about stress release techniques. We learned about Effleurage and Hacking and how to give someone a massage. This workshop was presented by Gilíosa. We also learned about Energy Balancing and our body's Chakra and energy centres.

After lunch we had our final workshop of the day which was called Positive Parties presented by Denise. This was my favourite workshop. We learned about how to stay and think positive. We also learned how to anchor our positive thoughts. It was great fun and I really enjoyed it. We listened to feelgood music and this is one of the songs that Denise played for us....

New Beginnings - Nuevo Comienzo

Hey everyone,
Today I am going to write my first TY Blog! This blog will keep you updated on my experiences in TY.  I have never written a Blog before and I'm not sure how to start so I'm just going to tell you all how my first few days of TY are going for me so far.
I was nervous on my first day but when I found out who was in my class I was thrilled that I was with all my friends.
Our class is called Tabei. It is named after the first women to climb Mount Everest.
Yesterday I went to my first Art class ever! I wasn't very good but I gave it a go!
On Friday I went to Technology, I haven't done Technology since First year and I really enjoyed it.
I also really enjoyed my Home Economics class. We were put into our groups for Junk Kouture and I am so excited about it.

So far I have really enjoyed TY and I know that there will be more fun and exciting times to come! :)
