International Cusine Project!

For our International Cusine Project, Steph and I decided to cook three dishes from America! On Tuesday we cooked the first of these; Homemade Burgers with Spicy Mayo!! Mmmm.... The two of us had the best lunch ever that day! The other two dishes that we plan to make are Mac'n'Cheese and a lovely Blueberry Pudding. I can't wait! As part of the project we also have to make a presentation for the rest of the class talking about the culture, history, geography and food from the country.

Mini Company Stand Still....

Our Mini Company has reached an abrupt halt. We calculated the total cost and found that we would each have to contribute around 1000 euro each! There is no way we can raise this amount in time for the competition and even if we could we'd have to sell each unit for 11 euro! Who would buy a small product for that amount of money? Ah, well. It was a good idea at the time...

Briery Gap Drama Competition!

On Tuesday we all went to Mullingar to participate in the All Ireland Drama Competition. The play that my group entered was our own adaption of the war poem "But You Didn't" by Merrill Glass. All the groups preformed wonderfully and we'll find out which groups get through to the finals some time next week...

Young Scientist!

Two weeks ago all the Tys went to the BT Young Scientist Competition for the day. We all had a great time looking at all the projects and watching the shows. One group from my class got through to the competition and they won the "Highly Commended" prize for their amazing project on free radicals and antioxidants. Well done girls!

TY Breakfast!

Today class Emnet hosted a Ty breakfast for us! They had prepared a whole spread of food and drinks and we all had a great time dancing around the second year mall! Thank you to all in Emnet :)

Fashion Show!!

Last Friday we had our Ty fashion show! Over the last three months all the Tys have been working in groups to make an outfit using a white t-shirt, trousers and 15 euro! Our design was a long pink maxi dress with an elaborate hat. We got our inspiration from Rose from the Titanic because in the first scene of the movie she wears a huge fancy hat. This is what we modeled our hat design on! Here's a photo of all the designs from my Home Ec class.... :)

History Project!

For my History Project I have decided to focus on Stuttgart, Germany since this is where my mum comes from. The city's history is very interesting and I am thoroghly enjoying doing this project so far! The Romans, Celts and Swabian Dukes all have left the city full of historical monuments and it also was very heavilly bombed in WWII due to the Mercedez-Benz, Bosch and Porsche factories in the area.
