In english were doing film studies and we just finished watching a movie called 12 angry men :) It was such a good movie :O It was all based in one room and it was about a boy who was accused of murdering his father and he is on trial in court. The dury go into a room and they discuss whether he is guilty or not guilty and they discuss all of the evidence :)

concrete angel :'(

We went to mullingar yesturday and we went see see the dramas that bamba and eriú made up :D they were all really sad dramas but my favourite was concrete angel :D Its based on a song called cocrete angel called martina mcbride :) Its about a girl who was abused by her mother and she passed away :( I cried when i first heard the song :L The play started with a flash from the future of the girls neighbours reading the newspaper article about their neighbour who killed their daughter. then it flashed back and the girl was sitting at the table , eating breakfast with her father. it showed her father cared about her very much , he was a very loving father :) Then he noticed some bruises on her arm and the girl said i just fell , i fall alot. but her father didnt beleive her. he set up a meeting with her teacher to find out if she was being bullied at school. but the teacher said she noticed the bruises and she said they wernt the kind of bruises you got from a fall :/ The teacher asked was there anyhting going on at home and the dad got very angry. he stormed out of the room. but at home the girls mother was drinking and she pushed her daughter onto the ground and slapped her. then her father came home and called her name , but she could not answer. her mother had just bottled her and she was killed :'( Her father came running upstairs and found her dead and screamed at his wife "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Then a new scene started and it was the little girls funeral. She was 8 years old :/ Her dad gave a big speech on his daughters life and how much he loved her <3 The song concrete angel played quietly in the background. Many girls in my class started crying :L It was a very well acted drama but very sad :(

drama :D

On tuesday were going to see 2 dramas that our other ty classes bamba and eriú have made :D I cant wait to see what they came up with :D Unfortunatly we didnt get to enter a competition for a play , but we are doing a play during class time for fun :) The play were doing is called kill the queen :) We didnt make it up :L Its about 3 boys and 3 girls who are against the queen and who want to destroy the monument for the queen :L Its a hilarious drama and i cant wait to do it :D

decisions , decisions , decisions...

We are in the middle of trying to decide what subjects were going to take for leaving cert :/ Im thinking of doing biology , art and early modern history :D I really like these subjects and im quite good at them :) I did well in my exams :) I wanted to do late modern history though but but because of cut backs its not available to do next year which is really disapointing :( But hopefully early modern history will be just as good :D Im excited and nervous to go into 5th year :O There will be alot of work but im excited to get back into work again :)

young scientist :)

We went to the bt young scientist competition in the rds on friday :D It was soooo much fun :D We spent the hole day their and the projects were very interesting :) My favourite was a car the turned 360 degrees to sgoew people what it would be like if you were in a crash :O Your head was very sore after but it was really fun :D We also went into a small stadium where robots were created and they would fight against each other and the crowd voted who won :) The louder the crowd screamed , the more the robots fought :L The robots also squirt water into the crowd and i got soaked :L The food there was really nice though , they made doughnuts and crepes and pancakes :D They were yummy :D

band and song writing :)

This is one of my favourite activities :D Were going to be getting into groups and someone will play the guitar , another the piano , a main singer and background singers :) Ms O'R is giving us songs and we have to perform them :O We also played a game where Ms O'R would say a sentence from a song and wed have to sing back the lyrics and what song it was :) It was sooo much fun :D

ZUMBA! :D

Zumba is my favourite activity so far :D The dancing involves a lot of hip movement and its a very good work out :D My legs were so sore the next day :L Its soooo much fun though and its hilarious :L

massaging :)

In massaging we gave head massages :D You scrap your fingers through someones hair like your combing their hair and then you move your fingers in circular movements :L Then we did another one and you place your hands on the top of each ear and you keep them their and the energy is going back and forth , if you get a tingling in your hands that means the energy is going back and forth :)
