Part of the Transition Year 08/09 Updates
Bonding in Ballyloughran
On Tuesday the 9th of September, all transition year students headed to Ballyloughran for our first trip of the year. The first activity we participated in when we arrived was canoeing. Great craic was had by all, this included having races and the horror of toppling out of our canoes! Some did not participate but got involved by taking photographs and just having a laugh at the whole spectacle in general! After the canoeing we all joined in and took part in the orienteering. Finally we all headed indoors to do rock-climbing, which even our teacher Ms Beamish took part in – thanks to some strong words of encouragement! Some people found the thought of climbing a 30ft wall a bit daunting but thanks to support from the rest of the class most people made the climb up the wall. Once we finished the rock climbing we were able to play a bit of soccer. It was just like the old derby. Limerick V Cork. But I suppose you can’t be good at everything and Limerick won! All in all it was a great day and everyone enjoyed it. A great way to start Transition Year.
