Dress Up Day :D

Today is the last day before mid term woo :D its dress up day and I dressed up as Scream :o  Surprisingly, a lot of people dressed up, and some look very scary :) Every one is excited for mid term, to get a well deserved break(and a lot of sleep), so we will come back fresh for our work experience!

Accord Talk

Today we had a talk from a woman from the organisation Accord. We learned all about relationships, how we relate to other people and we learned about our bodies. It was a really worthwhile day as we learned a lot. It wasn't awkward as we didn't have a teacher in the room with us. The woman was really down to earth and easy to talk to. It was a very interesting day :)
Tomorrow is the last day before mid- term and we have a theme day. TY's are dressing up as characters from scary movies, so it should be very interesting to see what everybody dresses up as ;) I've been very busy with all these projects, so I'll have a lot to do!

Mini Company in Naas :)

Yesterday TY's went to the Moate Theater in Naas for a mini company talk. Orla from the Kildare County Enterprise Board was talking to us all about marketing our product. It was very good, as we also got to hear the ideas from other schools as well. We don not need to promote our project, as it is a free service and we have all our customers already. But yesterday was very helpful, as we got a lot more information to help us with our projects. So we have a lot of work to do over the midterm!

Colour Me Beautiful and Mini Company talk :)

On Thursday this week, a man from NUI maynooth came in to talk to us about a product design course in NUIM. It was very interesting, and was useful as many mini company groups are making a product and he gave them advice. Check out our Green Hero Mini Company facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Celbridge-Ireland/Green-Hero/164129233598558.
On friday, we had two women from colour me beautiful come into talk to us about what colours suited our skin tones etc. This was really good, as we were categorized into groups. I was a warm, and examples of colours that suit me are red, green, brown, turquoise and orange. We also found out what style personality we were, and I was casual (which was very obvious, as all i wear is tracksuits :L)

Mini Company (:

This week, my group have been working very hard on our mini company project. We were given a deadline to meet by Mrs B by monday the 11th of november. My team was delighted when we got over €100 over our target! My group is doing a free magazine that will be distributed free to our local primary schools. All week we have been busy getting sponsors and businesses that wanted to put an ad into our magazine. Our company is called "Green Hero" and will promote being eco- friendly and green. On monday we had a visit from Orla, from the Kildare county enterprise board. Our group has been very professional as now we have a website, an email address and we even have business cards! This week has been very busy, I feel like a real business woman! :P

Geography project :)

We are all working hard on our geography projects now. I am doing a 2nd and 3rd world country, so I am choosing China and Brazil respectively. Here is an interesting fact in Brazil: Macapa lies on the equator and is proud to have the only football stadium in the world (The Zerao) that has each half of the pitch lying in different hemispheres!
<<<This is a picture of the amazon rainforest in Brazil :)

TY update :)

Ty is going really good, but I've got a lot of hard work to do! This week, we submitted our Young Scientist projects, worked on our history and geography projects and Mini Company. My group have been busy finding out prices and other things. Today there was a meeting about the Gaisce Award, and it looks really good and interesting! We have also been working on our technology F1 competition and our home ec dress design :) This week has been quite busy but fun too :)
