Junk Koture Fashion Show

     Hey People,


Yesterday was our Junk Koture fashion show. Our junk Koture was a dress with footballs, basketballs, rugby balls and Gaelic balls. The skirt part of our dress was made from the hexagonal shapes in the footballs as we tried to give the effect of a quilt. The back of our top contained more hexagonal shapes that we fixed the morning before our fashion show.

The front of our top contained sewn on pieces of basketball and Gaelic balls that took a very long time to sew onto the top and cut to the right shape to fit. The idea of our dress took a very long time to come up with as idea's got changed quite often .

On the day we had a little bit of a disaster as the entire back of our dress fell apart, however with some glue and a couple of almost panic attacks later our dress was complete, however when our model, Emma, tried on the dress the back started to fall off but with a few handy idea's and quick fingers later our dress looked grand and so the show was to go on.

We made it to the fashion show and we were the eight people on the catwalk. l. The walk down the catwalk went well and the judges seemed to like it and none of the footballs fell off!!!!! Wooo

Mini Company Workshop

Hey peoples,

                 Last Friday, the thirtieth of November 2012, St Wolstan's Transition Years went to a conference in White Water Shopping Centre in Nass. In this we spoke about marketing our products and we informed the other students from both our school and other schools in Kildare. Our Mini Company is Cray8 Colour. In this we recycle the old unusable crayons at the end of the crayon box and we melt them down, in the oven or microwave and then we pour the melted crayons into moulds and then we wait for them to harden by leaving them outside or in the fridge for ten or fifteen minutes. Then we sell them in school for 50 cents to a euro. 

At the mini company talk we also discussed the best way to write our business report. We learned how many marks we would get for each part of our report. Then we watched a short video on the types of personality in business: passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive and assertive.
