My Experience in Lockdown – By Aleu Pineda

Being in lockdown can have its ups and downs, and I’ve had my fair share of them. I mostly spend my days lounging around the house, completely bored out of my mind; or during other days – I am stressed to the max with the homework. So, I’m going to be sharing my story in […]

My Experience of Lockdown – By Louise Wylie

My experience of lockdown has been quite relaxing, but I can’t wait to be able to see my family and friends and to go to school. Home schooling has been okay for me. It’s nice to do your work at home and in comfy clothes but on the other hand it’s been difficult to […]

What Have I Learned From Lockdown? – By Caola Catterson

I have learned that I can’t be in control of everything that goes on around me. That the world will keep spinning even if there is a crisis. I have learned that when I put my mind to something, I will stick at it. I have learned to enjoy something that I thought I […]

My Experience of Lockdown – By Shauna McCrory

During lockdown I have learned new skills such as baking (with a few failed attempts), new Irish dances, songs and exercise. My sisters and […]

My Experience in Lockdown – By Eva Quinn

My experience has been very interesting. I’ve had to spend both my mum and dad’s birthday in quarantine along with my own. Not being able to buy proper cards or gifts has been really bad. I had to make my parents a card which tested arts skills. One definite positive was that my sister moved […]

My First Days at Loreto – By Sarah Slevin

My First Days at Loreto When I first entered Loreto, I could hear my own heart-beat thumping through my chest as if there was someone in there trying to escape. The first thing that made me feel at home was the delicious smell of hot buttered toast. The smell made me feel warm and welcomed. […]

My First Day at Loreto – By Mary-Ann McMackin

My First Day at Loreto I had butterflies in my stomach on my first day at Loreto. When I went into the building, I immediately felt reassured when my new classroom assistant, Siobhan, warmly welcomed me in the large, looming school. I then met my Year 12 friend called Grace. She was super friendly to […]

My First Day at Loreto – By Eabha Hughes

My First Day at Loreto – By Cass Cameron

Nervously, I followed mature smart girls mimicking their every move. In the distance I could see the big, brown building waiting to welcome me. As I […]
