Women in Education

This is my movie inspired by Girl Rising. Last week it was girls in education week and to promote it we all made movies about girls in education.

We also showed the real girl rising movie to 3rd years to promote girls in education. 

Many Projects!

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't blogged recently I've just been so busy with many projects. Christmas tests is in 3 weeks and I have lots of projects due for then. 

   I have a geography world project due. That is taking up a lot of my time. It will be my Christmas test grade and I'm nervous that I won't get it completed on time.

  I also have a local history project due. I'm doing mine on the are of Celbridge. I'm doing most of mine on Castletown House. 

  Mini Company is taking up a lot of time as well. We are working very hard on our mini company. 

  Busy week ahead.

Trip To Town!!

Hey guys,

So last Thursday we had such a fun day. We went into town to see the Yates exhibition, the art gallery and the bog bodies. 
The first place we went to was the Yeats exhibition. This is an exhibition that shows all of W.B.Yates First and best work. It had a lot of his original manuscripts and poems.

The next place we went to was the art gallery. This was a lot of fun. It showed many different paintings from many different artists. We focused mainly on the Irish artist Jack.B.Yeats. My favorite painting of Jack.B.Yeats was 'The Liffey Swim'.

We had two hours for lunch on Grafton Street. We all went to McDonalds again. It was delicious. 
After my food I had McFlurry.

The final place we went to were the Bog Bodies. They were in the National Museum. I found these very interesting because I couldn't understand how bodies could survive  for 2000 years. We were able to tell how the men died, what height they were and what they last ate before they died. The bog was able to preserve the bodies for 2000 years.

Zumba! Zumba!

Hey guys,

So last Friday we did Zumba for p.e. A woman called Grainne Showed us the Zumba. It is a dance fitness programme and it's very good for you. My class, Tereshkova, and half of class Tabei did Zumba on Friday at 2.00pm. I had so much fun whilst doing Zumba. Everyone enjoyed it so much that many of us are thinking of joining Zumba outside of school. 

We will be doing Zumba during p.e for the next 6 weeks. I have my second Zumba class later today and I can't wait :)

Xtraordinary Science!

Hi guys,

So on Monday we went to a talk in Tallaght IT. As part of science week our science teachers took us to Tallaght IT for a talk on science. The science programme was called 'Xtraordinary Science'. The talk was given by an English man names James Soper. We arrived early so one of the lecturers took us on a tour of the college and showed us the room where they make bacteria.


The show was incredible. There was another school there watching the show as well. James showed us many experiments. He made a mini explosion happen and when it did I screamed because I got a fright. 

On the way home we were allowed to go into Liffey Valley for lunch. Once again we had McDonalds. We were in there for 2 hours and we were allowed to look around the shops as well.
It was a great day overall.

Talk soon!!

Hey there,

 What a week its been. It's the last week before mid term and its been a fun week. I had work experience on Wednesday. It was lots of fun. I was with senior infants for most of the day and we did art and p.e. We also sang along to songs in the chart at the moment.
