Fashion show in St. Wolstans!
This week we had a school fashion show. Everyone one got involved. On Tuesday we all helped out by painting and designing the catwalk in the Celbridge Manor hotel. The models, who were students all went to shops sponsoring the show to get clothes. There was also all types of acts preparing for the show. Such as modern dancers and Irish dancers also a few singing acts such as the glee club. The teachers were also going to be preforming a dance and doing some modeling.Our business teacher Ms. Plunket said that a few mini company groups could sell their products at the show so myself and my group got ready for that.

Myself and the girls at our mini company stall before the show!

On the night of the show myself and my mini company group were very busy rushing to get everything ready we had to finish making our bags, so everyone came to my house and we spent an hour getting everything ready. When we arrived we were sent into a room with the other mini company groups and began to set up our stand. We put up fairy lights and a sign. We displayed our product on the table. We were selling makeup bags with a wrap around brush holder on the out side and we called the company Bam Beauty. We had put a lot of work into them so we were hoping that they would sell.Our two friends were taking pictures of the show so they got us a ticket. We watched the first half of the show. The lights and music were amazing. The teachers modeling was hilarious and the girls looked so nice in their clothes. A few of my friends were in the show and it was great fun cheering them on.We got to watch the modern dancers and the choir who were both great.Towards the end of the first half the teachers came onto the cat walk dressed in wedding dresses and suits and ties. Ms O Callaghan wore a pink wedding dress to finish the show. At the interval we rushed out to the stand to sell our bags. We sold a few and many people sounded interested in our bags.
Overall I really enjoyed the fashion show and would love it if we had one again. The clothes were amazing and everyone really enjoyed it.

                                              " These boots are made for walking"

            "You can not judge a person until you have climbed into their skin and walked around in it "                                                       -Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird 

Last Friday we were all told to wear interesting looking shoes to raise money and awareness for mental health. People wore runners, boots, wellies even slippers! The campaign is called 'walk in my shoes'. It teaches us not to judge people as we have no idea what they are going through or how they feel. Our tutor Mr Kennedy explained how we need to be more sympathetic towards others especially those who are suffering from something such as mental health. As we learn from the quote above taken from the book 'To kill a Mockingbird' if we spend even a few minutes in someones elses situation we may not be as fast to judge.

I started my day in music where Ms Gilsenan played the song 'these boots are made for walking' and everyone danced to it. At the end of the day prizes were given to the people who wore the most interesting pair of shoes.

I learnt a lot about mental health after today.

Talk to you soon,
