After Junk Kouture !

Hey lads! How are ye all?!
   
              Well, as i have explained in one of my previous posts, Junk Kouture has sadly come to an end.. We miss it, and the six classes a week it took to create a truly unique and original outfit!
               Now, instead of having six classes dedicated to Junk Kouture, we now have a double class of Home Ec (cooking), Art and TY Design (sewing). I really like these classes, as it gives us a chance to do some practical work rather than theory.
              In Home Ec, we have been giving a number of recepies, such as profitteroles, risotto and cheesecake.. Every Monday morning, we have a double class to cook these dishes with our partners.. We have great craic, taking on new challenges and learning how to be a deadly cook ;) I swear we will be pros by the end of the year!

               In are classes, which we have on a Tuesday afternoon, we have taken on the project to draw one of our favourite celebrities of our choices. We had ta pick out the shadow spots on the person, and colour them in black with pencil.. After we did this, we had ta place the inside of a tape over the shaded parts.. They are all starting to come together, and look pretty class!
               In TY Design, we are making and sewing a teddy bear.. My one is made of denim! We get to put lothes on it when we finish! Every Tuesday in the mornings, we have TY Design.. I enjoy making our own teddy bears from scratch, and when we finish, it will give us a sense of accomplishment and we will be delighted with our own teddy ;)
             

Young Scientist :)

Hey there lads!
               I cant believe its the new year already! Those four months went soooo fast! Its worrying, i still fear going into fifth year :S Ah sure, i am enjoying every bit of TY! :)
               On the 10th of January, 2013, we went to the RDS to the BT Young Scientist.. It was good craic! We left early in the morning, and were gone pretty much the whole day! Was exciting shtuff.. One of our teams entered and got through to the RDS, so ya can imagine the excitement and the flurry to find the stall!
               Every single project had a brilliant display, and some quite interesting views on their topic.. I was amused by some of the unique projects! I was fascinated by the projects written as Gaeilge, they were class! There was one about chickens, and the stall pulled me in immediately! There were little chicken teddies, a big yellow poster and everything referring to chickens.. It drew my eye in, and i have to say it was my favourite stall!
               After a while, we all grew starving.. We walked around different food stalls looking for something nice ta eat, and settled on a pizza ta share.. I have ta say it was the nicest thing I have tasted! We all sat around talking about our RDS experience over pizza,  and thoroughly enjoyed the day :)
