…and my impression of TY so far is certainly a good one. Do we have to do subjects that we didn’t do for our Junior Cert? Yes. Do I mind doing these subjects? No, not really. TY is supposed to be a year to find new talents and things about yourself that you didn’t even know about. How can you do that without taking part in projects or tasks that you wouldn’t have even considered this time last year? No problems with my new class, I’m with most of my friends and there’re plenty more to make.
The transition from summer to school was a lot smoother than I had anticipated. Perhaps it’s because TY isn’t like any other year in school, it’s a lot more enjoyable and makes the getting up at 7:30 a lot easier. Here’s hoping it stays that way!
I’m excited about my Young Scientist project with Orlaigh Kennard (http://orlaighh.blogspot.com). We first thought of three projects:
1. Cravings; your body or your brain acting?
2. The Science of Sports
3. Cosmetic Science
We decided to choose the Science of Sports one because we both play hockey in the school and do ballet outside of school. We’re going to pick three techniques from both sports, and compare their relationships with Physics, Geometry and Biology. According to Ms. O’Callaghan this is called ‘Biomechanics’? It’s handy because she’s our science teacher, tutor and PE teacher… She also happened to study Sport Science in college so we already have ourselves a helper.
