Around the World..



Today our Geography project is due which we have been doing for the past month and a half. we had to pick six countries from around the world 2 developing, 2 underdeveloped and 2 developed countries. we had to pretend that we went to these countries and book tickets and hotels. we got 12000 each to spend on these counties. this project was very enjoyable to do and i learned a lot about these countries. i hope that i would be able to go to some of these counties when i'm older

Mini Company, Bond Style..

Last week we went to the Odean cinema in Naas for a mini company talk. we weren't that excited about it and especially since we had to wait in the cinema for about an hour before we found out what was happening. Unfortunelty the woman who runs the talks had run ill, but to our advantage we got to see  a free film. we were over the moon! we couldn't believe that we were  allowed to stay and watch a film. we were told that is was Skyfall and we were so happy! it was  brilliant film and to make it even better we were given free sweets after the film. the day couldn't have gone any better.

Junk Kouture



One of our projects this year in Ty is called Junk Kouture. the idea is to make an outfit entirely out of recycled materials. We are doing it in home ec, desidn and art. we are having great fun doing this and enjoying seeing other peoples progress. my groups theme is drink materials. so far we have the top completed and are on our way with the skirt. We are sewing bottle caps onto the top and straws onto the bottom. we are also adding a peplum to the top made from an umbrella. Our jewellery is made from top of cans.
I am enjoying junk Kouture and i cant wait to see everyones completed projects!
