Mrs. L has planned a Bowling Trip for the TYs next Wednesday. We have our teams sorted out, we're all set to go. It should be good fun; bowling always is!
We still have to do some Christmas tests (English, Irish, Maths, Science and Religion). I think this is a good idea. We don't have as many tests as other years but it keeps us in routine with having some tests. Next year we'll go back to having eleven!
Because we have less tests than everyone else, next Thursday we have the day off.
So far the pros are out-weighing the cons in TY.

Home-Ec fashion show
Tomorrow's the TY Home-Ec fashion show. Each class was devided into four groups, each group was given a colour to theme their outfit around, a pair of white trousers and a white t-shirt.
My group was given the colour scheme Black & White. We decided to make a black and grey leotard (inspired by the snow leopard) with white from the t-shirt underneath. The skirt was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw and is made out of 12 metres of net (that's a lot of net..)

English drama- Noughts & Crosses
For English we’ve been entered into a drama competition where we’ll compete against English classes in other schools.
Our class was divided into two groups. People who wanted to perform a play based on the poem ‘But You Didn’t’ are in one group, people who wanted to perform ‘Nought & Crosses’ are in the second. Luckily enough there’s a pretty even divide in our class with who wants what.

I’m in the group performing ‘Noughts & Crosses’, a play about love and racism. The play follows two people: Sephy Hadley (Karen) and Callum McGregor (me). Sephy is black, Callum is white. People who are black are seen as being higher up in society than people who are white. Sephy’s father is the Prime Minister and Callum’s mother got fired from being the Hadley’s maid. Their lives are very different but somehow they’re best friends and in love; with a dramatic twist thrown, the play keeps you on the edge of your seat!
The play is pretty long and I’m in almost every scene; a lot of lines to learn but also a lot of fun to be had :)
