All Mondays should involve Explosions and Fast Food!!!




Yesterday was by far one of the best Mondays so far this year! This week is Science Week so all Transition years went to Tallaght I.T. Let’s just say we spent the day listening to a British man talk about extraordinary science and watching him make things EXPLODE!!!
     It was a very interesting talk and I would definitely recommend it for next year’s TY's :) When we arrived at the college we were brought straight into a large room which is used for chemistry and biology. It had lots of machinery and big tanks used to grow bacteria and make different chemicals. It was really warm with all of us in the same room and unfortunately one of my classmates fainted! :( Her mam came to bring her home and she was okay after that! We then went into one of the lecture halls and watched a presentation made by one of the professors in the collage. He showed us loads of really cool experiments which yes, as you may be wondering…DID involve fire!!
      On the way home from Tallaght, the teachers decided to treat us! We stopped in Liffey Valley shopping centre for lunch and got to spend a while with our friends looking around the shops. It was great fun and the KFC was delicious! :P
