Last week we had our fun walk. I was not able to go but people said that it was very fun. Our class won. We have Mr. Kennedy as our tutor.
   This week was my 3rd day of work experience. I am doing my work experience in a Lithuanian food shop called Nemunas. For my third day of work experience I went to the same shop except it was in Edenderry. It took a bit over a half an hour to get there. I had to go through the shelves and if there was a product that did not have a price label i had to scan the product and put in the price. When I was done I had to take the machine that kind of looks like a phone and plug it into the printer. I printed off the price labels and I had to go and put them where they are suppose to be.
