SciFest Which Do You Prefer

After months and months of hard work during science I am glad to say that our project has progressed to the next round of the competition. Our idea was whether the packaging of Coca Cola effects the taste of the product !! We learnt through a blind taster test on girls in our school that the majority of people prefer coke in an aluminium can rather than in a glass or plastic bottle. This is because it is more acidic and sweet and has a slight metallic taste.
One of the reasons why I found this really fun was because it was a team effort and it was rewarding ( and also the fact that we could have lots of coke!!! ;)) It was a really fun day with lots of balloons and a lot of fun !

Mo Thaití Oibre

Sita is ainm domsa. Chaith mé an Céadaoin seo cháite ag fáil taití oibre leis an tréidlia[Beaufield]. Déirigh mé ar a hocht a chlog ar maidin agus dfhán mé mo theach ar a leathuair tar éis a hocht. Ní dhearna a lán rudaí mar nach raibh aon chaílíocht agam, ach bhí céad agam féachaint ar gach rud a bhí ar siúl. Bhí céad agam féachaint ar obráid agus bhí sé an-súimiul. Bhí na daoine sa tréidlia an-cáirdiul. Bhí Paddy an-greannmhar.Ar an drochuair fuair Holly[madra] bás ach ar a dea-uair shábhail na tréidlia a lán ainmhithe ní raibh a lán dualgaisí agam. Ag deireadh an lá scuab me an úrlár agus ghlan suas an úrlár le díghalrán. Níl a fhios agam go cinnte fós ar mhaith liom a bheith i mo tréidlia ach bhaineann mé taitheamh as an obair.

Flash mob !!

As part of the production of the musical all the TYs took time to learn a flash mob that we performed three times in school. The first time I was really excited for it and it went extremely well overall. We then performed it at the lighting of the Christmas lights in Celbridge village at 3 o'clock which was amazing to take part in. It was so much fun and I have so many memories from it overall. We will be performing it again some time in this month  in some secret locations over Celbridge. I can not wait !! :)Here is flash mob that is from Step Up 4 that I love !! :
 

Zumba !!

For the last few weeks our year have been doing zumba but I am sad to say that I only have one class left !! :(  .Its so much fun and our teacher is amazing at teaching us. At first it was slightly awkward but after a while everyone really got into it !! She said we would burn a lot of calories and would be so much fitter as the weeks go on !! Its really great that we have the opportunity to do things like this that gives you so many memories for the year !! Most of the songs are Spanish and she also plays some English ones also !Really looking forward to the next class!! :)

Rathbeggan Lakes !!

As part of a  maths trip all the TYs were taken  to a lake/field where we applied maths literally to practical problems. We measured the height of a pole using a tape measurer and a triangle. This trip was so different to what we would do in school which was why I enjoyed it so much. Unfortunately our group did not win the free family pass but ahh well maybe another time !! There was also a few ducks that shuffled around the lake, one that bit my finger while I was trying to feed it popcorn out of kindness!! and a goose that ran around the place. It was really cold but at least it didn't rain ! it was a great trip and I hope we go again some time this year ! :0
