A step back in time !!!

Yesterday we got a talk by my old primary school principle on the history of Celbridge. It was very interesting. He has written a book on the history of Celbridge. He talked about how Celbrideg began and about Castletown house, and the man who built Castletown house Speaker William Connaly.  He built Castletown as his summer house between 1722 to 1729. he only spent weekends and summer in Castletown. There is a lot of  hstory were i live and i never knew about it. We are planning during the good weather for him to come back and bring us on a tour of all the historic sites in Celbridge.

Juno and the Paycock :) !!!

Yesterday all of the Ty's went into town to see Juno and the Paycock in the Abby teather. But before we went to the teather we went to the national library, the national history museum to see the bog bodies, and a YB Yeats exhibit. THe bog bodies were so cool. These are bodies that were found in the bogs here in Ireland and they have been preserved becuase there was no oxygen in the bogs to decaly the flesh so it just turned to leather. Juno and the Paycock.It was a really good play. the set was amazing it look just like a old Ireish tenament house. they made it seem so real, they even had the actors cook real sasages on stage, the smell was amazing but made me so hungry. I would tell people to go and see this play it is sooo good.

Mini company :)

This week we went ot our second mini company workshop. We finally cam up with our product idea. Our idea is to help people with Dilexia. This is something very close to me as i myself am dislexic and i wanted to do something to help. Bassicaly there are coulered overlays as when you are Dilexia you find it hard to read black and white so these take away the glare and helps. but one day as i was on my computer i found it hard to read off of my computer and i came up with the idea to makie stick on overlays for computer screens and my dad who has the same difficulties as i do said he has the same problem as i do but with his phone which he uses to read and send emails for work and the i though of doing the same thing for phones. I am really excited to get this idea up and running and start selling.

creative writing class !!!!!!!

One of my favourite class that i am taking this year is creative writing. I am really enjoying thid calss. over the first few weeks people brought in books that they have read and then read out there favourate quotes form that book. my personal favourate was wild flower girl, it is from the famien trilogy, it is my favourite book of all time. we are usin these peices as an inspiration for our creative writing, now we have read a poem called the locket. bassically the poem is about a boy who's mother has rejected him and kicks him out.
 And now we have been asked to do do a diary as the mother or the as the view of the son or the mother. i did in the view of the mother. Then our teacher asked us to pair up and turn both of you diray entries into a monologue. i will let you know how we get on with that.
