Rwanda
Last week my class Banba finished watching a movie called Hotel Rwanda. It is about the conflict between the Hutus and the Tutsis. The Hutu's were killing the Tutsi because of other people trying to take over.
It was horrific. The movie really mad me think about what war does to family's and how people in America didn't care because they were Africans. It really mad me very upset. I couldn't understand how some Americans could just sit by and watch this happen. But not all of the Americans were bad, there were a good few who tried their hardest to help the Tutsi. I found it very strange that no one had ever heard of the conflict that went on there. If your reading this and you have never heard of this conflict i advise that you watch "Sometimes in April" or "Hotel Rwanda". The movies will really make you think.
TY really makes you think :/

Braveforce :)
Hey :D
Yesterday my year went to an assault course! It was amazing but incredibly cold and tyring :S it was a race. There was 2 other schools, one was a boys school the other was a girls school but there was only a few people from each school there. Apparently the other schools had trained for it so we were all kind of scared :O when the race started i was tyred in the first few minutes. It was an obstacle course. The water was freezing, if you went in too fast you could get shock. It was horrible but so fun :D
I love TY

Animals, animals, animals!
Hey :D
My year was on work experience last week! I went to the DSPCA which is the Dublin Society of Provention of Cruelty to Animals. It was such a great experience! I loved it. On Monday and Tuesday I was in the Treatment Kennels which is were all the sick dogs are, I had to clean kennels, walk dogs, feed dogs and play with them! It was here that I fell in love with a dog called Uisce (pronounced ish-ca) which is the Irish word for water. I think she was called this because her eyes were blue! I loved her to pieces but on Monday evening she got moved to the rehoming kennels which is were the dogs go when they are healthy and up for adoption.
On Wednesday and Thursday I was moved to rehoming, I got to see Uisce again! I had to do the exact same thing here but the cleaning was more thorough because the public came in here to see dogs.
On my very last day 2 families came in to look at Uisce, I had to take her out of her kennel and show her to the families. It was very upsetting but I knew that she would be going to a happy home.
I made loads of new friends because there was 8 other people on work experience there with me. They were all so lovely! I had a great time and I really think I'm going to volunteer in the summer :D
I love TY :D

St.Brigid, our patrent Saint :D
Hey :D
We went on a pilgrimage 2 days ago! It was too see the wells of St.Brigid, the experience was amazing but very tyring. We walked for about half an hour to see the first well, we had to walk around a circle in the well and bless ourselves with the water in it, as you did you had to think of a prayer. Then we walked for another half an hour to get to the second well, this was my favourite well out of the 2, it was so beautiful and really spiritual. Before we went to the wells we visited the round tower, St.Brigid's cathedral and her kitchen. It was a great day :D

Flowers, Lambs and everything sesional
Hey :D
Happy st.Bridget's day! It is officially the beginning of spring! :D
My class have been designing the prayer room for st.Bridget. I was in charge of music with Lauren and Emma, we also helped out with the art group who were painting wall-hangings in memory of St.Bridget. Roisins dad came in to the school and built a small well in the prayer room, it looks great! There are 2 wall hangings, one is a round tower and the other is St.Bridget and her cloak, they look really good the girls are great artists!
Hope you have a great Spring :D
I'm loving TY :D

New friends, free stuff and Judges! :D
Hey :D
I had one busy week last week! I got in to a competition called the young scientist! There was Caitriona, Alswyn and me :D we had the best time. Our project was called Differences in Peoples Perception of Natural and Synthetic Scents. What we did was we got a natural substance and compared it to a synthetic substance, the natural substances were the fruit of a banana and an orange, then we extracted the oil from cinnamon sticks and we also had vanilla pods. Then for the synthetic substances we made 2 chemicals called esters, these are just chemicals that smell like a banana and an orange, for cinnamon we used a cinnamon candle and finally for vanilla we used vanilla essence. We tested 20 people, we blindfolded them and asked them to smell a certain thing but we would not tell them what it was and then wed give them the other substance of the same smell and ask which one they thought was real. We found that 30% of people could not tell the difference. We also did a test to find out if these people have a genetic disorder called anosmia which just means you cannot smell certain things like freesia flowers or musky perfumes. What we did was at the end of each test wed ask people to smell the flowers and see if they got any smell of them. We found that the 30% that couldn't smell the differences also couldn't smell the flowers.
We had a great 4 days and we made soo many new friends and also improved relationships we already had! i came so close to Caitriona and Alswyn and also all the other girls in my year who got in! There was 11 of us in total and that made 4 different groups. Also the boys from the boys school near were we live got in! they were in the musical with me so it was like a reunion and we all got so close. it was really an amazing experience and i had a great time at the discos and table quizzes :D.
You gotta love T.Y :D
