Social Development Day :)

well this is only my second blog and I think im getting pretty use to it. The first week of T.Y went by so fast, I feel as a class we are getting to know each other better thanks to the social development day we had as class. Tuesday, the 6th of September was Fódla's social development day. We all met in the library at 9.05am for Registration and we met Mr.D, the man who was going to help us all learn about ourselves. At the very start of the day Mr. D put us in order of our birthdays, we then had to get into a group of 6 with the people sitting beside us and we had to write down our objectives that we wanted to get from the day but also from T.Y. Some of the points we put forward were that we wanted to Bond as class and be one big group of friends, We also felt we needed to gain more confidence. When Mr.D read through all the objectives it was little break. After little break we were separated into pairs and did all these random exercises on conversing with people, body language and how to be a good listener! After this we got split into groups based on our personalites:
  1. Choleric: You are very competitive and like things done you way and organise a group.
  2. Sanguine:Also known as the "entertainer". You like to be the centre of attention and make people laugh.
  3. Phlegmatic: You are very calm and can deal with tense situations without getting stressed. 
  4. Melancholic: You are organised and like something to be finished before you move onto another problem.
After this exercise we were in our personality groups and had to this exercise were there was only 3 weeks to christmas and the Elves at the north pole didnt make enough toys so we had to come up with a plan to "save christmas" :) As a Melancholic my group made everything very organised and had it laid out in a very neat pattern. I think my personality match was very correct.
I think i learned alot today and we all bonded really well and this day was worthwhile.

Chat Soon,
Eimear :)
