Summer is over and school has begun. My first week in transition year is nearing its close. The first week has been busy and many different projects have been assigned. Fortunately, I was put in a class with all of my friends and I couldn't be happier with my class. The TY classes were named after Disney princesses, Ariel, Belle, and Aurora. I am in class Ariel. There is a lot of people in my class I don't know but I am looking forward to getting to know everyone throughout this year.
On Wednesday we had workshops in the school. There were three different workshops, Etiquette, Positive Parties, and First Aid. The Etiquette workshop taught us how to walk properly, the different body shapes, hand and nail care, and we also were shown how to walk in heels! There was a red carpet rolled out for us to walk on in our heels and I thought this was a great idea and very enjoyable. The Positive Parties workshop was all about staying positive and trying to turn bad situations into good situations. We did many little activities including laughing yoga, the 'pants game', and the hokey pokey. I found the First Aid workshop to be very interesting. I think the things we learnt will be very useful in the future. We were taught many useful skills including how to put someone in the recovery position, how to give CPR, and how to react if someone is experiencing an epileptic seizure.
The etiquette workshop was my favourite but I really enjoyed the day.
I really enjoyed my first week in TY and am now looking forward to the rest of the year.
Thanks for reading, Hannah.
