Songs with meaning...

In English we were all asked to chose a song that had meaningful lyrics. We then all got to play bits of our song on you tube in class. There was many different types of music and songs. Some people had some of the same artists. Many people had The Script as did I. The Script's songs are always meaningful and everyone can relate to them.
   I chose "Millionaires" by The Script. The meaning behind it is that money doesn't matter. We don't need money to fulfill our lives. Instead the idea is too live life to the fullest and to spend your time like your're a MILLIONAIRE!

Hair Couture

For our mini company we are arranging a book with step by step hairstyles. 
So if you are stuck for what to do with your hair for a party, or if you need something quick and simple for school "Hair Couture" is easy to use and very effective. 
    It is going to be on sale in our school very soon and is not only a useful book to have but also a great present for friends, sisters, cousins, mams and aunties! Bonus it is super cheap!

Once Upon a Time.....

We were recently given an english assignment to take a fairytale and change the ending. Instead of everyone living happily ever after we have to change it.
    We are in pairs and we have to write a dialogue for the new ending of a fairytale. After we have done this later on in the year each pair will have to perform their scene in front of the class. My partner and I are doing "Hansel and Gretel". We have loads of good ideas on how we are going to change the perfect ending and make sure that there is no happily ever after.

Sci-Fest!

This week my partner Rosie and I started our sci-fest experiment. We are testing how much bacteria is on make up brushes and sponges if you don't wash them. This week we have started using make up utensils and washing one but not the other to show howmuch bacteria grows on them. We are doing htis for three weeks and then we are doing an experiment using nutrient agar t show the presence of bacteria on the make up brushes and sponges.
     It is really interesting and hopefully will be loads of fun and will teach us a lesson about cleaning our make up brushes. I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

A nice Surprise!

Last Thursday we went to the Mini Company talk in Naas cinema. This was our second mini company talk with Orla. However after we had been there for about 45 minutes and Orla still hadn't turned up the teachers discovered she had been unfortunately taken to hospital that morning.
    We all didn't want to head back to school and we soon foud out that Naas cinema were going to let us watch "Skyfall" the new James Bond movie. We couldn't believe it and it only became real when the lights went down and the screen lit up. We also got free popcorn, sweets and drinks in our new Madagascar cups.
   It was a fun day in the end and we were so hyper on our way back to school!
