Young scientist :)


 "Science does not know its debt to           imagination."          
                            -Ralph Waldo Emerson 

TY's were brought on yet another trip on Thursday! We went to the Young Scientist exhibition in the RDS :) We had a good time looking at all the science projects even though there were no projects entered from our school this year! This was my third time at the Young Scientist exhibition so I had a pretty good idea what it was going to be like. The projects were all very good and I think everyone enjoyed the day... apart from the fact that I was dying with a cold for the whole day!

Junk Kouture!!!

Hi everyone!!! Today we had our Junk Kouture fashion show. All the TY's have been working in groups to design a unique outfit from recycled materials since the start of the year. I was working with four other people and we came up with a dress made of bubble wrap. We were inspired by a mixture of Lady Gaga's unique style mixed with an elegant ballgown type dress worn by Jennifer Laurence. The top of the dress was made of an old corset for the base, covered with a pink bed sheet. We used some old pink material to make the straps of the dress which are a halterneck style. The skirt was constructed of three tiers of bubble wrap all layered on top of each other. We pleated the bubble wrap to give it a puffier look. To complete the look we designed a giant bow headpiece made from bubble wrap.
