Geography Project "All-in-One" post
Here's my Geography project for y'all to read! I created a Slideshow rather than doing five individual blog posts, and then uploaded it onto SlideShare, so here's the link to SlideShare:

As high as a kite in Scifest
Last Wednesday every TY was entered into Scifest, it's some what like BT Young Scientist because it's a Science Competition. We entered again with our iPhone App - 'The Surfboard Solver'. We didn't get the App made, never knew how much work went into that before!
When we were preparing for judging we were freaking out, hoping we wouldn't forget what to say, but as soon as the judges came it all just spilled out of us and we remembered everything from BTYSE. In the end we won the Communication Award! Such a great feeling that they thought we were the best communicators! All those late nights & long hours really paid off!

Gaisce
On the 27th of April 30 TY girlies headed off to Kippure Lodge (an adventure centre) for our Gaisce hike. I'm guessing most of you don't know what Gaisce is, so in Anglais it is called 'The President's Award'. For TY we took on a Skill, a Sport and got involved in the Community. I did my Flute, Camogie and got involved with Brownies (helping out with the super cute kids!) And then the last thing we had to do was a 25km hike, can you believe it!? We did it over two days and it was so exciting! Hiking is my new favourite thing ever!
We had the best little chats up and down the mountain, which was super steep sometimes! And honestly the best food ever.. yes, we did splurge.. After the long hike it was so great to come back to our OWN houses. And that's not an exaggeration - they were such nice houses & there was about 12 in each. Best night ever, with chatting, chatting and yes, more chatting! We also did high ropes, oh wow! Let's just say standing on a wobbly pole two stories high is scary.
I feel so accomplished with it !

It's been a long time coming
Okay, okay I'm a terrible blogger I know I should have blogged sooner because I have so much to fill y'all in on!
Eriú Retreat
About two weeks ago Eriú went off to Glendalough for a little R & R, well more like reflection time on our annual retreat. I always love these days, because they are so relaxing and the scenery in Glendalough is so amazing! All of the girls were saying that we should come to the lake on picnics more often! The day was spent walking, so I was a little annoyed I had decided to wear such unhelpful shoes! We were all wrapped up and ready for the day, and the sun was shinning which we were blessed with. It was a time where we would spend with our own thoughts and we were encouraged to walk in silence, but of course being the chatty class we are that was a little difficult! Mrs L accompanied us along with Mr K, and we were led by two natives to Glendalough, one of whom was a priest who surprisingly knew a huge amount about technology and TV shows that are out at the moment!
But all in all I loved the day - rain may have come but we were lucky, unlike today class Fódhla are gone and it has not stopped raining once!
Swim a mile avec a smile!
Okay it really is "Swim a mile with a smile" but I was feeling a little adventurous! On Friday 20th the TYs headed to the National Aquatic Centre for the Ian Daly Swim a mile. It's a great cause set up by a fellow TY and her family, Eimear D. It was set up for her brother and has been running for years and so many of the TYs have been swimming a mile every year since they were young. A lot of the girls swam the mile and I'll post some pictures of them, but I hadn't been swimming in a while (I know, excuses, excuses!) but I swam 52 lengths! Eimear D, not surprisingly swam an amazing 128 lenghts!
Talk soon xo
