On Friday we had the f1 in schools competition. Me , 11 other girls and Mr W left the school at 7.45. We set off for Griffith College,Dublin. It was very quiet on the bus because everyone was really tired :).
We missed the entrance so drove up and don for a while. When we arrived, we got name tag things and we went to our stand. We were beside the window and the emergency exit so it was nice and bright. Team Éalú were opposite us. We set up our stand by putting posters of the back and putting a table cloth, ribbons, our car , portfolio and two laptops on the table. It looked really well. Throughout the day , we had 3 things to do. First a judge came over and examined our portfolio. He seemed to like it. After a while we had lunch and then our uniforms arrived late but just on time for our race. Our car raced three times against the other team. We won one out of three, apparently our car was too heavy (97g!).
Then we have our verbal interview downstairs with 2 judges. I think it went well.
Later we took down our stand and went to the awards ceremony. We didn't win anything or get through but I wasn't too surprised because some of the other groups stands were amazing.
We arrived home at about half 4 so we had a long but good day .:)

So we get a nice rest this week as we have no school :)
I've nothing really planned and am happy not to get up early in the morning!
Even though I'm not in school I still have loads to do.
We have our MiniCo and Tech regionals next week so I have lots of work to do.
We need to plan our stand for Green Hero to encourage people to come over to us and for Swift we need to finish writing our portfolio. I've to do the marketing, media and sponsorship pages.

On Wednesday morning we had arranged for a photographer to come and take Team Swift's picture for the Liffey Champion.
We had to ring and change the time because Ms B wouldnt let us out of the Writers workshop. They weren't there so we had to ring and leave a message for a new time but it turned out grand.
She was so nice and seemed really interested in our team and the competition.

I'll post up the article when it goes into the paper :)
