St.Brigid's day crosses

Today in our TY religion class we made St.Brigid's day crosses. We made the crosses out of rushes that our teacher had brought in for us. The crosses were difficult to make but we got the hang of it in the end!
Repeat the process below to create your very own St.Brigid's cross with rushes!

Here's a picture of the cross I made at school earlier!

Mini Company Judging

We recently had our final showcase of all our TY mini-companies at school! We all prepared for our companies to be judged by judges from the Kildare enterprise board.

We all prepared a visual display on the day, and had also previously prepared a report of our mini-company.  As part of the mini-company competition, each company was required to give a short presentation to the judges to briefly discuss our newly set up enterprise!

All of the mini-companies produced great displays and presented very well. There were even some prizes given out to three mini-companies from each TY class! There was a prize for the report, display and innovation. Our mini-company, DIY Dye won an award for the great work that went into our report!

Blog soon- Abbie :)

BT Young Scientist

We recently visited the BT Young Scientist exhibition in the RDS with our year group. Everyone had a great time, we enjoyed walking around looking at all the projects and of course, collecting some freebies along the way! There was a group from our TY year that got through to the competition, their project was good. It was about how school bags affect your health etc. In all, we had a great day at the Young Scientist!
