Gaisce Hike to Howth

On Tuesday the 25th of April a group of 34 TY’s completed our Gaisce Hike.

We all met at Howth DART station at 9.30am. We walked through the village towards Baldcadden road then up to Howth head.

The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day to look at the views of Howth. We walked to the lighthouse then had a quick lunch before we continued our hike. We walked past a lot of really big fancy houses. We had another lunch break at a little beach. We were all energised and ready to continue. We were on the home stretch now! We all began to feel it now. The hike began to get a bit more difficult as the incline increased but we were nearly there. We did 14km in total. We finally finished and everyone was delighted! It was a great day and everyone enjoyed it as the pictures show.

On the last day before the Easter holidays TYs took part in a competitive and high-paced Virtual Easter Egg Hunt.

This fun activity was organised the B-Positive Committee. This committee is run by Ms. Guinan and has 13 members of TY students who want to fuel a positive outlook of school throughout the year.

We organise different games and activities throughout the year, with the aim of keeping students motivated and having a good time in the school environment.

On the day each group was divided into teams of approximately four. The teams had to complete a different puzzle for each round; word searches, anagrams, mirrored words and more. The answer to each puzzle was a location in the school where pictures of Easter Eggs were laid. The first team to solve the clue got to run to the location and find the eggs. When they returned to the gym with the paper eggs, they could exchange them for a real chocolate egg of their choice.

It was a really fun way to spend the afternoon, with chocolate, karaoke and lots of laughs!!
