Saw people get arrested!...Museums, galleries and dead bodies?..oh bog bodies!

On the 14th of November we took a trip to the W.B Yeats museum, an art gallery and the bog bodies. The day was jam packed with tours and what else. Our first stop was the Yeats museum, here we leaned all about him, his family, his poems and much more! Well decorated museum!

The next stop was the art gallery. This was my favorite part. The paintings were amazing and the stories behind each piece was interesting. My favorite painting would be 'Grief' by Jack B. Yeats.





The Bog Body museum was good, getting to see loads of body parts that were preserved in bogs! Also a tour about the iron age in Ireland.

Lunch time was interesting... Getting to go around Grafton street.
Of course once again we got Mc Donalds and starbucks! Nothing new there! Getting pictures taken with street artists and listening to the buskers. And of course seeing people get arrested, and seeing a clown on the way home?! But nothing beats Marks and Spencers cookies!

Science and Mac Donald's... great combination!

On the 11th of November the TY's took a trip to Tallaght IT for a science practical for science week. Thinking is was going to be some boring presentation about science, it was actually really good and enjoyable! He talked about various scientists and what they discovered then did an experiment which were really fun! Especially shooting a piece f potato across the room and blowing up a balloon full of hydrogen! Surprised the fire alarm didn't go off with all that smoke and fire!

After for lunch we went to Liffey Valley. Wooh Mac Donalds! Also had a roam around a few shops having a laugh :') <3 starbucks.

Once upon a time... the open day!

The annual open day was help on the 9th of November for incoming first years. It was a fantastic turn out. With all the work from 1st to 6th years on show it really showed off  how much work is put in by all students. With myself and others in charge of the sports display we answered questions from parents and kids. They seemed interested  with all the home ec, art and tech projects on show and with science experiments going on, food being made it was a great fun day overall. :)

Some of the teachers seemed to enjoy it more with their dancing! Overall fantastic day. :)

 

NEVER forgetting to wear a seat belt anyways :O

On Tuesday the 8th we had a very interesting talk about road safety. Oh wow did it scare me.. It made me and others think twice about being cautious around and in cars. We watched a few videos they made me more aware of  what effect a crash or accident can have on someone. The littlest thing like sending a quick text can harm or kill you. We learned about how small things can save a life. I dont think i want a car anytime soon... Anyways i learned a lot and glad we had the talk. :)

All ready for... hot chocolate :3 i mean the Pearse Museum!..

On the 3rd of October we took a trip to the Pearse museum as part of an Irish trip. We learned all about Patrick Pearse and how he tried to keep the Irish language alive! We were taken on a guided tour around the big old house. It was amazing to find out how much he went through to educate kids and teens.

We were also taken on a nature tour around the grounds of the house. It was an amazing view! Also a day full of laughs and many.many selfies! The hot chocolate was my outline of the day oh gawd it was tasty! :3

We then watched a short film about the life of Patrick Pearse. It was a great insight into his life. Towards the end of the day the teachers decided to make some videos. It was a great laugh! Glad i took part, looking forward to seeing how the videos turn out...
