So far TY has been filled with some months where we aren't in school for more than two days in a week, and other months where we have to actually do some work. The trips have been great fun and they cover a wide range of interests from jumping off sea trampolines to going to see ELF the Musical, we have gotten to do at least one thing that has interested us. However most people have enjoyed all the activities that we have been given the opportunity to take part in(even if you didn't think you would like to walk up a hill while blindfolded....). There has also been the 'boring weeks'. They were boring in a sense that we were in school most of the days and had to do 'normal' school work but in the middle of each week we have work experience. Every Wednesday we have been out in the world of work and it has been...interesting. Sometimes good and sometimes not-so-good but in the end it is all experience and you've got to take the good with the bad.
TY so far has been a great year to learn more about myself, for example if you want someone to draw a good leaf for you, run away from me and that I am surprisingly not so bad at making teddy bears, the teddy may say something different. I have learned new skills through all of the projects that we have been doing so far and I have no doubt that there is a lot more learning about yourself to be done in TY.
I now know that what ALL of the teachers said at the start of the year was true, however annoying it sounds ' You get out of TY what you put into it'
