TY - Social development day! :)

On Monday 6^th of September 2010, class Amina had a social development day. There were quite a lot of activities involved. It was a very worthwhile day, in my opinion! We had a guest speaker, Austin Dunne. He was really good fun. Our overall goal was to have gained MEGA-confidence! I think everybody left the library on Monday having gained MEGA-confidence! In order to achieve that goal we had to take part in lots of activities and communicate a lot. The first activity involved pairing up with another girl in the class, finding out some things about that girl and then introducing her to the rest of the class. That was good fun. I was paired off with Ruth. We had good craic finding out things about each other. The best was the question of ‘your most embarrassing moment’! Later in the day, we did an activity on different personalities. We used colours to differentiate between the four personality types. The colours that we used were red, yellow, green and blue. The reds are the ‘Hot directors’, the yellows are the ‘Bubbly Entertainers’, the greens are the ‘Mediators’ and the blues are the ‘Observers’. I was categorised into the yellow group. The bubbly entertainers are represented by mad cows! Overall the day was very enjoyable. I feel it was a very worthwhile day as we all got to know each other a lot better! By the end of our social development day I think every one of us had gained MEGA confidence. This showed us that all goals can be achieved with determination.

Niamh! :D
