In History we have been assigned our 'end of year' project and it's like a essay type project, I'm looking into doing Tuthankaman!
In Home-Ec we are cooking on Tuesday. We have been giving a task and myself and my partner have to make 2 savoury dishes and 1 sweet. We've decided to do Thailand. So on Tuesday we are cooking Thai Chicken Rolls with Noodles. YUM!
In technology we are making a clock, my clock is going to be blue. I find that pratical work in Tech is very fun and I like sawing things and filing things down. Its very enjoably and I'm working hard on my clock. I made a keyring a couple of weeks ago and Mr. W was very impressed with it! YAY

Spanish Presentation

On wednesday I did my Spanish Presentation, I thought that getting up in front of the class this time was much easier than when I did my Geography Presentation, I think it was because I thought about the other one too much, I chose Salvador Dali, a Spanish artist from Figueres. I decided to do him in my presentation as I talked about him as an artist for my 3rd year Art Project. I found researching facts about him to be very interesting. He is dead now, but he used to include alot of eggs in his paintings as it symbolized love to him. I enjoyed doing the research and the presentation and it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I had put it off the week before but finally got it done and over with, so Im happy now!!

Subject choices

The girls of 3rd year are coming up to doing their mocks and they need to get their choices for 5th year to be decided and now in Ty we have to be thinking about our subject choices for Leaving Cert. I'm finding this difficult as I dont know what subjects to choice, I have one decision made but it's still stressful because if you pick the wrong subject for yourself you will regret it in the future as you wont work in that class and it will lessing the points you can get. So I have to think long and hard about my choices as I want to make the best choice possible and go into 5th year glad of the subjects i picked.

Rugby Blitz

Half of the Ty's did a Rugby Blitz after it being called off during December because of the bad weather. It was in January sometime. I took part in the blitz and I found at the start that the girls were intimadating but then once i got into it, I was grand and I played well. We went to Tallaght and played two other schools. The whole day was enjoyable and I cant wait for the next Blitz. So now during PE I to put in extra effort to ensure I get on the team, because I find Tag Rugby to be very fun and good!
Since coming back to school, we went to the RDS and then practiced like crazy for our Drama in English that took place on 25th January. The week prior to the play, we practised in most classes as were asked to, so it might have looked like we were taken advantage but we had to do it so we wouldnt make a fool off our selves. Itwas as success and the day in Mulligar was very fun! we have just been told that we are doing another play for the Holy Faith Sisters, the founders of St.Wolstans. I was a man in my play aswel, and had to were my dad's clothes. Super. :) The other schools that took part were very good aswel, as all groups did depressing plays it was good to see funny plays from the other schools around us.

school

Hello, it's been a long time since i blogged, i dont know what i was doing all of December, but I'm blogging now. Decemeber went very quick as Christmas was all everyone could think about and now thats it's over and we're back in school we can concentrate on blogging. It's also been a pain as blogger has not been working in school. but today it is!

After Christmas we all went to the RDS for the BT Young Scientist Competition. It was a good day and lots of freebies were to be got, the various expeditions that were on show, were interesting and fun to learn about. One of the groups from Amina got through so I was proud :) haha!
