Medical Geography and Movies

In geography we are learning about medical geography so we are watching a movie called 'Contagion'.The movie is about how fast diseases can spread by people touching things.The movie is really interesting but everyone is getting a bit paranoid.We are also making pamphlets about different diseases.My one is about Typhus;I have learned a lot by making my pamphlet, I've learn the about symptoms,where its most common and how to prevent it.
Here's the trailer to 'contagion'!

We are also watching a movie in religion called 'Pursuit of Happyness' because we are still learning about the Millennium Development Goals,and the movie is about poverty.

my second week in TY!

   I've been in TY nearly two weeks now and I'm having a great time!The girls in my new class are really nice and I hope as the year goes on we will all become really good friends!Everyday we have been really busy with projects,at the moment we are all doing a Religion project about the Millennium Development Goals.And in Geography we are doing a really cool project;we have to pretend we are going to spend twelve months traveling around the world to visit 2 first world countries,2 second world countries and 2 third world countries!My favorite project that we are doing at the moment is our home Ec project(Junk Koture);we have to make an outfit out of recycled materials and then put on a fashion show!
   Today our junior certificate results are out and everyone is really nervous,but I can't wait!!I'm also really excited because next Monday we are going on a trip to Carlingford!I've been there before and I had a great time so I can't wait until I get to do all the fun challenges with my new classmates! :D
