Podcast Workshop!!!

Hey! It is Saturday the 27th of November ! I guess I can call it Christmas time. Its snowing !!! And it is to continue on till next week as well :) Back to school. On Friday in Religion we made our advent wreaths. They turned out really good. I was so happy with mine. The Advent season began on Friday. In the second half of the afternoon we had apodcast workshop :) It was excellent, way better than what I was expecting. We had a chance to create our own podcasts. My group did a podcast on I'm A Student Get Me Out Of Here!! It was really good as we incorporated animal noises such as crickets and lion roars into it. We also got the chance to change the pitches of the voices which I found amazing, and also to speed up the voices too. I found this workshop very beneficial as I can listen to podcasts on my way to school. I will definitely continue to use podcasts now that I am familiar with how to use them !!!

She did the draw for our geography projects and we found out that myself, Siobhán and Róisín were 6th in the line!! In Religion we had a prayer service in the meditation room with Mr. K. There we prayed for all our relatives who have died and put their names in stars.
