My TY Diary - BT Young Scientist in the RDS


Week 21




This week was our first week back after winter holidays. I had a lovely break so it was hard on Monday morning. I barely got out of bed on time! We had a normal week but it felt like it took forever, because I was so tired. On Wednesday, it was the first day of our new work experience. For this block, I am in a crèche. It was my first day so I was just watching and being introduced to all the children. I really enjoyed myself. I played Play Dough with them and then we did Lego for a while. I had a great first day and cannot wait for next week. I also got my braces off this week so I was very happy with that :)
On Thursday, we went to BT Young Scientist with the school. Every year, 2nd years and TY both go to look at the projects and stall in the RDS in Dublin. This year, three girls from our school (Eimear, Emily and Aimee) got in doing a project on the best conditions for learning in schools. We went over to show our support but every time we went over, there were a lot of people there so I think that is a good sign. They did very well and got a prize for their work. The school is very proud and their project is hanging up in the school reception. It was a great project and everybody really enjoyed the day out. I had a great day and for my lunch had chips with my sandwich so that was like the cherry on top of the cake!


Until next time,

        Bye,

My TY Diary - Merry Christmas!



Week 18


This week was the week of our Christmas exams and the start of the Christmas holidays. We always have our Christmas Exams the week before Christmas Day so this year, they started on December 15th (Monday) and we got our holidays on the 19th of December (Friday). They started on Monday at 1.20 with French. Then on Tuesday we had Religion from 9.15 to 10.45 and English from 1.20 to 2.55. Then Wednesday was a day off. The class went to Elf the Musical in the Bord Gais Theatre but unfortunately I was really sick that day with a tummy bug so couldn't go. The class said it was a great day and that the show was very good. On the Thursday, I was still a bit sick but felt much better so went into school for my Maths exam at 9.15 to 10.45 and then my final exam was Irish from 1.20 until 2.55. It was then Christmas Holiday's and everybody went home. The other years all had to come in on that Friday and then they got off. I think the exams went well and weren't that hard. We will get the results in he New Year when we go back!

         Until Then,

                       Bye :)
