Ty stuff :)

Hello :) we have done a lot of things since coming back after the xmaas holidays . All of Ty went to the RDS to the BT young scientist exibition .Even though we all enetered the competition only one group in amina got through :D It was great fun and we got a load of free stuff but we learned a lot at the same time because the projects were very interesting so everyone enjoyed it :) At the moment we are trying to decide on our subject choices for leaving cert , its difficult but i think i nearly know what i want to choose . We are getting special classes to help us decide which is very helpful . Hopefully i will make the right choice and get all the subjects i want because it will be a bit tricky if i dont :(

Back To Ty XD

We had been practicsing our dramas for the briary gap competiton , there are 4 dramas , 2 from each class all of them are really good but they all deal with very important issues such as drink driving , domestic violence , racism and the consequences of loss from war . So we all went to mullingar on tuesday to compete in the competition , everyone did really well and the judge was very impressed and also gave us some great advice on how to improve on our plays :) i was in charge of the sound and lights for 2 of the plays which was a difficult job but it was also a good experience and it was fun . After we had performed our plays we were aloud to watch the others schools dramas which were also very good so we have some stiff competition and we will find out next week if we got through to the next round .
Thats All For Now : )

Work Exp etc. :)

Work Exp etc . 

I Haven’t blogged in a while so I have loads to talk about :D A few weeks ago we all went out on work exp. I was really excited but I was also a bit nervous at the same time . I was doing my work exp. With saidhbh in Radio Na Life in merrion sq. Dublin 2. I got the bus into town the first few days to O Connell street and then we walked down to merrion sq. which was about a 10 minute walk . After a while I felt really sick on the bus everyday so I started getting the train which was more convienit as Pearse station is about a 5 min walk from Radio Na Life headquarters .On the first day we got a tour of the studios and then we researched stories for the radio and rang people up to organise interviews which I enjoyed . It was a bit boring sometimes as we sat at the computers a lot but we also got to do fun things like a voxpop on Grafton street and best of all on the last day we got to record our own radio show which will possibly be aired on the radio at some point . All in all I really enjoyed myself even though the hours were very tiring . When we got back to school we went straight back in to work on all out projects . We are currently looking for manufactures for our can-do plug pop in mini company and today a woman came in to talk to us about running a business and help us find manufacturers . We are also presenting our Geography projects this week , mine is on Australia and a few other people did it too so I hope mine stands out a bit . We are also presenting our history projects to the current 3rd years which I am a bit nervous about . This week we also submitted in our 5 page proposal for F1 schools comp in Tech , we are also just finishing our mood boards for home ec . I think I’ve filled you in on everything so far ..ttyl 

Projects xD

This week we are doing a load on are projects . A lady from the Kildare enterprise board came in to out mini company class to see how we were all getting on in our groups. Everyone had realii good ideas and she was very happy with my groups idea. We are doing a lot on our mini company this week such as market research and manufacturing a prototype. We are all still working on our History and geography projects. Some of us got injections for the cervical cancer vaccine this week too . In pastoral care we did a hand massage which was really relaxing and helped us all to de-stress . It was quite an interesting and busy week but im still enjoying Ty :)

Week 6 ..Geography Project :)

This year in geography we have to do a project on 6 countries we would like to visit and what we will do when we get there. We were put into groups of 3 and we have to do two countries each :) I am doing Australia and Greece. I a doing Australia because I have family over there and have always wanted to go there :) You do some amazing things like bungee jumping, safaris and snorkelling , there are loads of diffrnet websites for this and i found a realii great one here. I would love to do a bungee jump or snorkel in the great barrier reef.. I think it would be cool to learn how to surf too :) I can’t wait to do my project and maybe one day I will do it for real xD
