ACCORD :)

A woman called Margaret came to talk to our class yesterday :) She was from Accord. She talked to us about relationships ,how we should hold in our anger sometimes and basically told us the birds and the bees story. She also talked to us about how boys function ,what goes on inside their minds and what She was really good and everyone really enojoyed the talk. :D

Mini Company ,A new idea :D

Our last idea was working out to be very expensive. We had to start thinking about a new idea. Our new idea ,hopefully ,is going to be a product which holds your glasses on a little ring. The ring is attached to a clip which you can put on your top. There is also a suction cup so you can stick it to your fridge or computer so you wont misplace yout specs ;D

Naas ,round two :)

We went to Naas again on Wednesday the 20th of October. Orlaigh talked to us about more detailed things this time. She wanted to know whether we had a prototype made so she really understood what we were doing. She also told us ways to advertise our buisness.  

Colour me beautiful :D

Two fashion consultants came to our school on Friday the 15th October. They put us into groups by the colour of our hair ,eyes and skin tone. I was in the soft group because i have quite sallow skin ,brown eyes and blonde hair. The two women told us what colour clothes we should wear and also what kinds of makeup too. Our colours were greens (khaki ,moss and emerald) ,browns (tan ,camel and beige) and peachy pink colours like coral ,orange and rosey pink.
I really enjoyed this workshop as now when I go shopping I know what colours to get that will really suit my skin tone :D

Mini company talk number two :)

Today we had another mini company talk with a man from NUI maynooth. First he talked to us about the course he lecturers in the college. He then talked to all of our groups individually. He told us that our idea was great but it would be very expensive to make. Instead of having electrical components in our tracking device ,we will now have a solar panel on top of a suction cup. Also on this ,there will be a spring with a ball on top. The ball will have a light in it powered by the solar panel. During the day you can find your car with whatever design you have on top of the spring. When it it dark you will be able to see the light to help you find it.
 Hopefully this will work out and we will make a profit ;)

Peter McVerry :)

The Peter McVerry organisation contacted our school and asked if we would be interested in doing some backpacking for them. Myself and about 11 others volunteered. The saturday after we all met up in tesco at about half past one :)
We backpacked untill half five. The Peter McVerry organisation contacted us and said that we raised 1375 euro and 69 cent altogether! :D

Mini Company Talk :)

Orlaigh from the Kildare Enterprise Board came to talk to us on Monday again. This time she told us what she thought of all of our ideas. My group had planned to do watches with a difference. We were going to buy watch faces and attach elastics with beads. This would give the effect of a bracelet but one of the beads would tell the time :)
Orlaigh said that our idea wasn't very innotive. My group is now going to try and come up with a device that you stick to your car. We want to have a remote that you can attach to your keys as well. If you have trouble finding your car in large car parks, you just have to press the button on the remote. When you do this the device on your car will either light up or make a noise.
Hopefully it will work out.

Technologhy Project :)

In technology we're doing a formula one project. We got put into groups and have to come up with a design for a formula one car. Our car will have most of these things but willl be a different design :)

FUN WALK :)

For our fun walk this year we didnt dress up. Each year was given a colour and we had to wear that colour tshirts. TY was yellow :) We did a dance for the judges and then went on the walk. Me ,Karen and Niamh stopped at the traffic lights to make sure evryone was going the right way. When everyone passed us we did the walk ourselves. The monday after we found out that our class won :D Our tutor won best tutor! Our prize was sweets to share with the class.

GEOGRAPHY :)

For my Geography project ,I am researching two countries from the second world that I would like to visit. The first country I am looking at is China! I have never really thought of China as a holiday destination for me. Ever since starting this project ,I think that maybe I could see myself there in the future. There is so much interesting sites to see like the Great Wall :) Also the terrocotta soldiers would be interesting to get a photo with. Being able to say that i have actually seen all of these places will be great. 
For the second country from the second world I was thinking of researching somewhere like Russia or Mongolia :)
