Mini Company & Religion

Last Monday was our Mini Company schools final. Everyone was so nervous as we had to make a presentation for everyone including the judges.
We went straight to the hall in the morning and everyone had to set up their display stand. All my group set up our stand and were ready  by half 9. The judges arrived and firstly had a look around at everyone's stand just to see what everyone's idea was. After they had finished the presentations had to start. Unfortunately my group had to go first! Our presentation went well and we were glad to get it over and don't with. After all the presentations were over awards were handed out and 4 groups from TY were short listed! My Mini Company iBrow didn't get short listed but we were glad the day went well and enjoyed the whole experience :)

Last week in Religion we were all very busy practising. Out of my class there is 2 groups and each group have produced a drama. My groups drama is about Homelessness and the other groups is about War. We have been practising for many weeks now and both dramas are very good. Tomorrow both groups are going to Mullingar to perform the plays in front of other schools. Unfortunately I won't be able to be there but I know everything will go well for both groups!

Bye for now,

Mini Company

This week was crazy for Mini Company! We all had to finish off our Mini Company reports. Each person in every group had to do a lot of work to complete the report. We each got a heading under the report and all had our bit to do.
This Monday the 21st of January 2013 is the Mini Company Schools Final. Judges from around Kildare will come down to the school to judge all our companies. All groups must have a presentation ready for the judges about everything to do with our project. This week we have organised our presentation and we all have things to say about our project. Only a certain amount of people will be picked from our school unfortunately so I hope everybody's presentation goes well. We also will have to have a display ready so we will have posters and information about our company on our stall including a sample of all our things in our iBrow kit.
We are all looking forward to Monday as we will have a chance to show our company.
Bye for now,

Young Scientist

This week in school was the first week back after Christmas. It was weird being back as I felt like I had been off for months! The mid-term break was brilliant though and everyone loved it:)
On Thursday the 10th of January 2013 all Transition Year's and second years went to the B.T Young Scientist in RDS in Dublin. We all left the school around 9.15 and arrived at 11.15. We had until 2:45 to look around. We firstly had a look around at the projects and then made our way to the other section.  All the projects were so interesting and we got to try out a few things in some sections. We also got a lot of free stuff which is great. After a while we all got hungry and made our way to the canteen to get some food. Me and a few of my friends also went to see the RobotShow in the Arena. It lasted for around 20 minutes and it was really good.
We arrived home at the school just in time to go home and everyone had a brilliant day!
