More Snow.

So all last week we had to miss out a week of school because the snow became so heavy and it began to snow all the time. The week was really good building snowmen and having snowball fights :)
But since it was hard to get through the snow and it was really cold there wasn't much else we could do outside and we couldn't go anywhere because most of the bus services had stopped completley.
We're only back in school now but it's still snowing pretty badly and I don't think we should be in school :) Some people still can't make it into school. Hopefully we'll get a few more days off.

Snow.

So it began snowing on Friday night and it hasn't stopped since. Supposidly we're gonna have 42 days of snow :0 Hopefully we won't because I'm not really enjoying the snow anyways :L I don't really like the snow cause theres not much you can do apart from have snow ball fights and make snow men :L
The weather is going to be getting a lot worse, fingers crossed we'll get a few days off school :L

Work Experience

Its nearly a week back now from our work experience and I think everyone is still pretty tired from it all :L

For my work experience I went to work in Scoil Naomh Brid in Celbridge, I got to experience what it is really like to be a primary school teacher. I got sent to a junior infants class so I was pretty happy about that.
During the week I got to help the kids with anything they needed help with and I would do any jobs the teacher needed me to do for her. Also I had to type up worksheets for the kids and timetables. I found out that primary school teachers do a lot more work then I thought originally, I didn't know that they had to stay back after school and do planning for the next day.

After everyday there would always be some work to do and at the end of the day I was always pretty tired. But from this experience I learned a lot about myself and about being a primary school teacher.

Overall I enjoyed my experience and would consider being a primary school teacher as a career choice.

Back :)

Today is our first day back after midterm and I think everyone is pretty tired since last night was Halloween and most people were out (: . Personally mine was really good and I hope everyone elses was as well. Halloween was on a Sunday this year so there was no sleepovers and no staying out late :( This year the fireworks in my estate were rally cool, they were going off one by one and it was like a proper firework show. My midterm was really good this year and I finally saw Paranormal Activity 2 which was actually good and way better than the first one and also it was pretty scary :L.

Our first week of work experience is next week and I think everyone is pretty excited to start. I'm going to my local primary school Scoil Naomh Brid, where I also went to primary school so i'l be seeing some familiar faces :) I'm excited to go back there and to see what its like to be a primary school teacher.

Accord

Yesterday we got a talk from a woman who came into us from Accord to talk to us about relationships, sexuality, our bodies etc and anything we wanted to discuss with her. I think most of us thought it would be really awkward and kinda weird to have someone to come into us to talk about these topics with us.

The woman who came in was called Laura and she was really nice and funny and didn't make things feel awkward or uncomfortable at all :). It was really easy to ask her anything and to talk to her. During our time with her she allowed us to write down whatever we would want to talk about or any questions we wanted to ask her, I think it put peoples minds at ease if they had any questions or clear up any confusion that people might of felt towards certain things.

I learned a lot from Laura that I didn't know, I learned a lot of helpful things from her and I think everyone is a little more comfortable with themselves and less worried if they had any problems etc.
