Since the start of the year we have all been working on a Trip around the world project. We finished the project in October. Afterwards we were paired up with someone who picked one of the same countries as you and were asked to do a presentation on it. Myself and Ciara chose Kenya. Here is our presentation,

Oh the stress of TY....
Don't believe anyone if they tell you that TY is a doss year. Its not. There is so much going on all the time and there are so many things to get done. One piece of advice..... do not leave eveything until the last minute!
The Mini-company schools competition is taking place next monday. Mini-company has been so stressful. Our company is called SnapShot Frames. We use old birthday cards to decorated frames. For the competition we have to have a business report and a display done for monday. The business report is finished but the display still has to be sorted out, which is worrying.
In technology, all of the TYs entered the f1 in schools competition, where in teams of five or six you must design a formula one car. Only two teams from the school got through to the competition, and luckily I was on one of those two teams. For the competition, each team has to complete a portfolio containing research on aerodynamics and designs of the car and also advertising and fundraising. this all has to be done so that our designs can be sent off so that the car can be made.

Back to school!!:)
So its our second week back and to be honest, I was really looking forward to coming back. Since last week, we have been getting exam results and projects from before Christmas back. We are also being given new projects to start.
In geography, we have started studying medical geography. This is basically learning about disease and where and how they occur in the world. We were given the task of finding the top ten diseases, both in developed and developing countries. I found it really interesting to compare the diseases. Along with that we have all been given different diseases, and we have to make a leaflet displaying what the disease is, symptoms, vaccinations, causes and treatment. the disease that I was given is malaria. Even though we have only started the topic, i know that I am going to enjoy it.
In Home ec., we have started to collect materials for making Teddy bears. We have also starting baking. Yesterday we made apple crumble. In art, we have started portraits of celebrities using old cassette tapes. In science we are working on our project for sci fest, which is due for the start of February. We are doing our project on factors that influence dreams.
