'As graceful as a swan' :)

Today, after our great "Easter Feaster" that we held for class Emnet, we went to see a ballet show in Belvedre College, Dublin. The Irish National Youth Ballet Company were performing at the college. One of our own TY students, Hayley Cunningham, and a third year student from our school were both performing in this show.

The show was amazing. They put on three pieces, with an interval between the second and third piece. Hayley was in two of the pieces that they performed. There were five boys in the show also. They were brilliant. It was great to see that they were enjoying it just as much as the girls were enjoying it. The ages of the show performers was varied. There were young boys and girls and then there were older boys and girls.

Hayley wasn't aware that we were coming to see her so I think she was quite surprised when she came out to us at the end of the show. She had a solo part in the show which was absolutely fabulous. She was so graceful and elegant up on the stage, along with the other performers.

Ballet wouldn't be my first preference of entertainment but I must say that I really enjoyed today's show and I was very happy that we were there to support Hayley.

After the show we got back on the bus to head home. We stopped off in McDonald's on the way home for about twenty minutes as well.

Thank you to our TY co-ordinator, Ms L and our school principal, Ms B, who accompanied us on this outing to the ballet show.

Niamh! :D
