Work Experience 1 - complete!:(

After 10 weeks of work experience every wednesday, our first work experience placement had come to an end. Some people might be relieved that the time in the first placement has ended but thats not the case for me. I was so sad on wednesday when I finished. For my work experience I went back to my old primary school, Scoil Naomh Bríd. I was so excited going back and seeing how the school had changed since I had been there and believe me...It has changed a lot. For example there now is not one blackboard in the school. They have all been replaced with interactive whiteboards! The big change is the extension. The extension was built the year after we left the school and I hadnt been in the new building at all. I had really high expectations going back and was hoping that I would really enjoy the experience. My expectations were of course met and I really enjoyed my time at the school. I was really sad to leave because you do become really attached to the class that you had been helping out in, and Im really going to miss them alot.

Naming our Junk Kouture!!

Since the start of TY we have been taking part in Junk kouture. The deadline is coming up next week and the outfits are starting to look like something that could be worn. Its amazing to see how something that was someones junk can be turned into an outfit. Our idea was inspired by music. At first we decided to just use Cds but soon changed the idea and decided to use tapes, manuscript, and earphones as well as the Cds. Its taken a lot of time and effort to make the outfit and unfortunatly our time is coming to an end at the deadline for this project is tommorrow. I think everyone is under alot of pressure to get the outfits finished but we will have to work fast. We are almost finished but we still hav to make a necklace and also secure some pieces at the top of the dress! Everyone is getting excited for the fashion show which will be held on monday!
We spent a lot of time debating over a name for our design. We wanted to have a name that represented our theme of music. In the end we came up with 'Forte Fashion'!:)
