Sleeping Beauty, Law Day 26th January 2015
Sleeping Beauty After school on the 16th of January, a group of girls and teachers were on the way to Cork to watch Sleeping Beauty in the Opera House. One of these girls was me, an exchange student from Austria. Everyone was excited to see the pantomime, but I did not really know what I should expect. However, my friends told me that this pantomime is one of the best and I trusted them. The bus arrived in Cork after an hour and we got off. Until the pantomime started, we could go into the city and do a little bit of shopping or have a nice cup of tea. I bought some souvenirs, took a lot of photos and had a little break at a restaurant. At 7pm we met the other girls again at the Opera House and took our seats. The pantomime was a very modern version of the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty”, which was influenced by the popular film “Frozen”. With famous songs, good jokes, amazing costumes, outstanding singers, dancers and actors it was a really great show. The actor Frank Mackey, in the female role of Nanny Nellie was particularly good. We had plenty of fun singing along with the songs, and the audience even had to try some dance moves during the encore! Comments like “Brilliant”, “Awesome” and “Grand” were heard from the Árd Scoil girls after the show. I think everyone enjoyed the trip and had a great time. I am really happy that I trusted my friends; otherwise I would have missed a fantastic performance. I am sure the pantomime team at the Opera House in Cork will see the students from the Árd Scoil next year again. Thanks a million to Mr. Collins who organised the trip. Dorothea Bittmann, 4th Year Law Day Law is very important in everyday life. On Monday 19th January, we had a Law Day in school and a lawyer came to visit us. We talked about the laws and rights in Ireland and what the consequences are if someone breaks them. In order to understand how a trial works we watched the film “A Time to Kill”. We also had the opportunity to stage a trial ourselves. Everyone got a character which we had to play during the trial. It was a very interesting way to gain some insight into a lawyer`s work. I think everyone enjoyed the day and learned a lot. Dorothea Bittmann, 4th Year |
