Have a happy Holly Days!

In aid of the ISPCC the Ty's went into town and help sell holly to raise money. We each gt split into 2 and got given a point to sell at. I was with Sara and got put at The bank of Ireland opposite Trinity College. It started of a bit weird with people giving you looks but once we got into it, it was great! After about a half an hour we finally start getting money! But then it got a bit cold, ok very cold!

We raised a lot of money, so our hard work did pay of! Ah nothing beats a bit of Mc Donalds after as usual!

So i got followed by a robot?!

Another trip took us to Punchestown fr a road safety show. It was packed with other schools and cars,guards,firemen,ambulances and many more! Of course we had t get loads of free stuff to begin with! :3 Also getting pictures with everyone and everything! We went around looking at all the stuff on show getting interested!

The NYPD were there with a Tango-bot. Which was a 'robot' built bu NASA! Knowing my luck it start following me! Pfffftt i was not scared!

The last part of the day was a talk and videos warning us to be careful on the roads, what and what not do and just over all be safe!

So maths can be fun.. hmmm

On the 4th of December we had a project maths trip to Rathbeggan lakes. Thinking that is was going to be some boring day about maths turned out to be the complete opposite! When we got there you could say it was a bit cold! But we got on with it, we were split into groups on 3 and 4 and each group was given a challenge to do around the lake. Even with ducks running around after us! My group got 6 challenges done which was really good! :) But the winners won free family day passes! Really enjoyable day!

For lunch we stopped of at Blachardstowns shopping center for a couple of hours to get food! And also have a look around which is always fun. :)

ME in a kumite match (karate fight) :)

Well this is me in a karate competition a couple years ago as i am now a black belt, just saying :P Won this fight (kumite) but came 3rd over all :)

Fried chicken! #Development Education

On the 21st of November we went to the City West hotel for a schools across boarder project we are doing. Each school made a presentation on what they have done so far in class but since we are the best school ever we made 3 presentations! We watched a play preformed by the Quadrangles. I enjoyed it it had a lot of humor in it but also put across a message about that anyone can make a difference if you try.

We then got together in groups and went to workshop and and an activity hub! Where people learned how to make blogs and we made a graffiti wall which looked pretty awesome! The lunch was amazing! Nothing beats chicken and chips haha. 

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.
