Lollipop Day

On February 24th, all of TY took part in Lollipop Day. Lollipop Day is in aid of The Oesophageal Cancer Fund.  One of the main symptoms of this particular cancer is not being able to swallow - hence a lollipop is the motif of the charity. For more information, check out the official website of Lollipop Day here.

Decked out in Lollipop Day t-shirts and hats, all of TY spread out around Dublin City, buckets at the ready. If someone donated  €2 they would receive either a lollipop or a Lollipop Day badge. TYs spent the day belting out 'A little lolly goes a looong way!' or 'Be jolly and buy a lolly!' to name a few of our catchy slogans.
Emma, Alswyn, Alex and Aoife blogged about the day so be sure to check out what they thought.

Everyone enjoyed the day and we managed to raise a lot of money for this worthwhile charity so well done to everyone! :)

Blogging with videos

I'm posting this video of TY 2009/2010 at Lollipop Day in Dublin February 2010, just to show how video can be posted to a blog. Hopefully TY 2010/2011 will post some videos to their blogs this coming year. Maybe they will post videos of some of the activiyies they take part in, or post some of their class presentations, or even post videos relating to the subjects or projects they are doing this year.

Watch out for our conga line at :22secs! Enjoy
