SCI-FEST :)

Sci-fest is coming up soon. Me ,Karen and Jessica are entering the same project as The Young Scientist. Our project is called "Dirty Money". So far we have swabbed dirty money and watched the bacteria grow in agar petri dishes. We have sterilised dirty money in household things (bleach ,soap ,washing up liquid and dettol) and then swabbed it to see if any bacteria will grow in the agar dishes. Hopefully we'll have everything done on time :)

THE HAKA IN RUGBY :)

In rugby ,Ross taught us all The Haka. It was really fun to do ,I think we're going to learn it properly and perform it on TY night. :)

HISTORY PROJECT :)

We are doing a project in history at the moment. We can pick any topic we want and have to do a write up that is about 10 pages. I chose to do Aphrodite - The Goddess of Love and Beauty!

So far I have only done my research ,when I have all my notes I'll do my write up :)

Reading in English :)

Mrs B ,has asked us to read at laest one book from the LC course. She wants us to get used to reading novels before we go into fifth year. I am deciding whether to read My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult or Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy. :)

GEOGRAPHY MAPS ON GOOGLE :)

Mrs L set up a local map on google where all TY's could drop a pin on a country they have been to. The country we have to mark is the country we done our virtual trip on. I done my mine on China and Mongolia so I marked all the places that I visited. I think that is a really good idea because I can read about different places around the world. :)

Work Experience :)

For my second week of work experience ,I went to my primary school.

I got to see what senior infants was like all over again ,from the other side though!

I helped the class with art ,maths and english. I read them a story some days too.

I helped a new girl in sixth class with her english ,she hadnt been in Ireland for that long. We taught her how to tell the time and helped her understand things like nouns and verbs.

It was so much fun ,I am definitely considering teaching when im older :D
