First TY week

It's been my first week in TY. Over the week we have got up to lots of things. We got our timetables and all our teachers. Some of the teachers I've never had before, its been a great week though. We have already got three projects so far! We were all put in new classes this year. My class is called Belle. All the people in my class have been so nice.

On Wednesday, we had three workshops; Positive parties, first aid and etiquette. In the morning we had positive parties which was learning about techniques to keep positive, while having basically a "party". The speaker has sweets on all the desks and hula necklaces on the chairs. She also had balloons and music. It was really good fun!

The second activity was first aid. We learned how to wrap bandages, tie slings, perform cpr and what to do in a situation when you find a person is unconscious. It was very interesting and It is very useful to know what to do in these situations. Garry the instructor was great.

In the afternoon, we did our final workshop; etiquette. This was my favourite out of them all, I really enjoyed it! We had to walk the red carpet in our heels, learning how to walk properly in them. We also learnt about body image and we were shown a video made by dove on body image. It was really interesting. Finally we learned about nail and hand care. We applied some hand scrubs and hand creams and they smelt soo good!

Overall I had a great first week in TY and I can't wait for results night next week and Carlingford trip in two weeks time!
