New Year New Class

Upon arriving for my first day of transition year at St.Wolstans Community School, I was put into a new class called Lagarde with new girls. We were named after the well accomplished women Christine Lagarde. Christine Lagarde was born on the first of January and is a successful French Lawyer and union for a popular Movement polition who has been the Managing director (MD) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) since 5 July 2011. She previously held various ministerial posts in the French Government including; Minister of Economic Affairs, Finance and Employment, Minister of Agriculture and Fishing and Minister of Trade in the government of Dominique de Villepin. Lagarde was also the first Women to become finance minister of an economy and is the first women to head the IMF.






The other class was named Merkel after Angela Merkel. Angela Merkel was born on the seventeenth of July in 1954 and is a German Politician and former research scientist who has been the Chancellor of Germany since 2005 and the Leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since 2000. She is also the first women to hold either office.

Our English Trip

   0ur    English   Trip

Today we went into Dublin for an English trip. We visited the Yeats Museum and the World War 1 exhibition in the National Library.

                                                                                                I found it really interesting because history is one of my favorite subjects and I learned a lot about the events that occurred in the first world war. For example: World war 1 began on July 28 1914 and lasted until November 11th 1918. The differences in foreign policies were a huge issue however the assassination of Austria's                                                                     Archduke Ferdinand was the immediate cause.

                            I also really enjoy English so I enjoyed getting to                                          visit the Yeats Museum and I                                                     learned a lot of interesting issues about Yeats                                                            too.
