Just keep swimming....

Last Friday the TY group took part in the annual Swim  a Mile With  a Smile fundraiser. It took place in the National Aquatic Centre and it was to raise money for cancer research and Barretstown. I took on the challenge of swimming the mile myself and I was delighted that i did. I swam 64 lengths while alot of the other girls swam part of or half a mile. Everyone did really well and overall we raised a good amount of money. After the swim we all went to Blancherstown and had lunch. It was a very enjoyable and rewarding day.

Pilgrimage and what not....

Yesterday, our whole TY year went on a day trip to Kildare town and then we went bowling after. We visited many places in Kildare, like the heritage centre, the round tower, the cathedral and St. Bridget's well. It was a very historic and cultural day as we found out many things about St. Bridget and Kildare that we didn't know.When we had finished the pilgrimage we went to Whitewater shopping centre for lunch and then we went bowling. All in all it was a very enjoyable and cultural day
