My TY Diary - A New Beginning with Class Ariel!

My TY Diary

September 4th 

I have almost finished my first full week of Transition Year. I am really enjoying it so far! I am in class Ariel and I like all the other girls in my class. This year the classes were called after Disney princesses. Ours is named after Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid'. There are two other classes as well, Belle and Aurora.

Yesterday we had these workshops. Three of them. One on etiquette’s, one on being positive (Positive Parties) and one on first aid which I think will come in very useful in the future.

 The etiquette workshop was very interesting. We walked up and down a red carpet, firstly with a book on our heads and then with high heels on. I couldn't stop laughing! We got our hand exfoliated and they were soft and smelled really nice.

The second workshop was on being positive and learning how to be happy when you’re sad. It was a bit crazy but hilarious. The woman was called Denise and was really nice. We danced around a bit and did this thing called Laughing Yoga. It was weird but I think everyone had fun doing it.

The final workshop that we did was on first aid. I think this is such an important skill to have as at any time or any place somebody could fall ill and it could end with very serious or fatal consequences. We learned all about CPR and the recovery position and what to do if somebody faints of has a seizure. 

Overall I really enjoyed my first week in TY and can’t wait to do more activities and make more friends J!!!
