TY So Far
As part of our blog challenge we have to write a post about our thoughts on TY so far. Sadly there are only two months left in TY, but it has been a great year so far and I've really enjoyed it. In the beginning it was dificult to get used to how different TY is from the other school years. Although we may not do a lot of homework or essasys we still have a good few projects which take up quite a bit of time. So it was hard to get used to organising my time to do each project. It was also strange to be in a different class with new people, but now it feels like we were always a class. Ty is a more practical year and we do a lot more presentations this year. Now that we've done a few presentations everyone has gotten much better at standing in front of a group and talking and this is definitely a great benefit for us. As part of Transition Year we are also taking part in gaisce, this has allowed us to take up new hobbies and learn new skills. Work Experience is also a big part of TY and this has definitely been a great experience because it has given us the oppurtunity to experience the world of work. I have learned a lot from going on work experience each Wednesday and had great fun. We have gone a quite a few trips this year as part of TY, we went to Carlingford, Young Scienist in the RDS, the cinema in Liffey Valley, Drama Competition in Mullingar,a maths trip in Wicklow, Punchestown and we also took part in the Holly Days collection and Lollypop Day. These were really enjoyable and everyone had a great time! My favourite trip was the trip to Carlingford Adventure Center (read about it here). Overall TY has been a great experience so far and I have really enjoyed it and I am glad I chose to do. I would recommend Ty to everyone.
