A module we took part in during the third term of TY was a careers module.
During this module, we were given websites that gave us lots of information about different college courses. We could find out what points you need to get into a certain course, the length of the course and subject requirements etc. We also had to complete a project on a career that we would like. I think that this module is extremely important as it gave me so much information on college courses and careers. It gave me a better idea of what career I would like to pursue and it helped me to make a more informed subject choice.

Another module my class took part in this year was a mindfulness module. During this module we were taught the basics behind mindfulness and how it can be used in everyday life. We learned about how mindfulness can reduce stress. We also were taught how to practise mindfulness and did meditation sessions and learned the exercise of finger breathing. We had to complete a project on the history of mindfulness, the benefits of mindfulness and three mindfulness practises.
I found this module really beneficial as it taught me how to practise mindfulness, which is proven to really improve your mental health. It also taught me exercises that can help me to control stress. I am really glad we took part in this module and I really enjoyed it. Another module my class took part in during the second term of the school year was a Politics and Society module. I wasn't sure how I felt about this module as I have never had a big interest in politics. However, I did find the module quite interesting. We talked a lot about what society would be like in the future. We were split into groups and each group was given a year in the future, for example my group got the year 2525. We had to complete a slideshow about what we thought the world could be like in that year in the future.
I did like the module and I thought it was something really different to learn about. My class took part in a Relationships and Sexual Education module this term. This module is compulsory in all schools and is obviously very beneficial and a necessary education. Apart from learning the course, which included topics such as consent, puberty, pregnancy and STD'S etc, we each had to choose a topic to complete a project on. I chose sexual assault as I think it is a very prominent issue in today's society.
The module was extremely beneficial and is definitely a necessary part of TY education. During the second school term, my class also took part in a forensics module that was taught by a science teacher in the school. I was really looking forward to this module as I really enjoy science in school and forensics was something completely different that I had never experienced before. However, I unfortunately missed a lot of the forensics classes due to rehearsals for the school musical taking place during the classes. From what I did experience, the class was really interesting. We took part in an activity where we dipped our thumbprints into ink, pressed it onto paper and discovered what type of fingerprints we all have. We were also taught many different things about crime scenes and how evidence is examined. I really liked this module as it was something totally abstract yet so interesting. I personally think it is a really good module to include in the TY programme as it has given me a real interest in forensics and I would love to learn more about the subject.

Una periodista tiene que escribir para una revista o un periódico. También, una periodista tiene que entrevistar con personas importantes de vez en cuando, por ejemplo el presidente. Una periodista escribe artículos, reportajes de las noticias, debates, cuentos y mucho más. También, este trabajo consiste en viajar para entrevistas y las noticias. Eso es importante para mi porque me encanta viajar. Para este trabajo, hay que ser muy creativa, organizada y trabajadora. Un buen profesional tiene que ser inteligente y amable. Una periodista tiene que tener buena escritura y poder escribir de cosas interesantes. Pienso que una periodista es un buen trabajo porque cada día es diferente. Este trabajo te permite aprender sobre muchas cosas nuevas, viajar , encontrarse con personas importantes y escribir de tus opiniones. Mi tía tiene esta profesión y le encanta mucho. Los Sanfermines es un festival en el norte de España. El comienza el seis de Julio cada año y dura una semana. Los encierros de los toros toman lugar el final día de la semana, y es el día mas importante del festival.
Los corredores llevan pantalones y camisas blancos con una panuela roja. Los participantes corren con los toros en las calles de Pamplona. Los toros son viciosos y la carrera es muy peligrosa. Muchas personas tienen heridos muy graves después de la carrera. Hay muchas ambulancias en las calles. A veces, una persona muere. El festival es muy grande en España, pero pienso que los encierros son muy peligrosos y las personas son locas. Chuamar ag campáil ar lá de torthaí na scrúdaithe. D' éirigh go h-an mhaith leis an mbliain sa Teastas Sóisearach agus bhí aoibh mhaith ar ghach duine. Phacálamar ár málaí le eadaí teolaí agus bia dead agus ar aghaidh linn go dtí an ionad campála i sléibhte Cill Mhantáin (Gleann Maolúra). Bhí sé dúshlánach an poball a chur suas ach d'éirigh linn ag an deireadh. Chuamar ar súiloíd fada ar an gcéad lá. Nuair a d'fhilleamar ar ais, rinneamar marshmallows thar an tine campála. Ar an dara lá, chuamar ag sléibhteoireacht agus ag snámh. Bhí BBQ again agus bhíomar ag canadh agus ag roinnt scéalta timpeall an tine campála. Ní raibh mé ag campáil cheanna agus thaitin sé go mór liom. Ba thaithí fiúntach é.
Biology is one of my chosen subjects in school. For the first term, we studied ecology. Our teacher asked us to complete a project by the end of the term, which would contribute towards our grade for that term. We were allowed to choose the topic but it had to be related to ecology. I decided to choose the topic of how depth affects marine life. I love ecology and absolutely loved doing this project. The topic was extremely interesting and I learnt so many facts that I didn't know, such as depth actually affects the colour of fish and sea creatures. really enjoyed doing this project and so far I am very glad that I have chosen biology as a subject.

Esta película se llama “Siete Años”. Es una película de suspensa. El director se llama Roger Gual. Se rodó en Madrid, España. Es una película muy animada y emocionante. Trata de cuatro personas que trabajan por una empresa criminal. Ellos tienen problemas con la policía porque no han pagado los impuestos. Tienen que hacer una decisión difícil. Una persona de las cuatro tiene que ir a la cárcel por siete años. Tiene lugar en una oficina. Hablan por mucho tiempo sobre quién debe ir a la cárcel. Ellos discuten y no pueden decidir. El tema de esta película es la amistad, la lealtad y la traición. Los protagonistas están los cuatro personas: el jefe se llama Marcel, la persona inteligente se llama Luis, la mujer se llama Veronica y el asistente se llama Carlos. Marcel es fuerte y bastante malo. Luis es muy inteligente y tímido. Veronica es valiente pero ella es débil. Carlos es grande pero es bastante inseguro. Los protagonistas son diferentes y debido a eso, la película es interesante. No recomendaría esta película porque pienso que el desenlace es muy decepcionante. Hay un buen mensaje en la película: todas las personas no son sinceros. Es una buena tema por una película, pero no me gustó “Siete Años”. |
