Back to school!

Since we have been back from our Christmas holidays we have been getting back our exam results and projects.
In geography we got back our 'My Trip Around The World' project back and now we are starting to do medical geography so we each have a disease which we have to research and find out where it comes from and where it is most common.We only started in class yesterday but I already find it really interesting because we never really did anything about the geography of diseases last year.
In art we are starting a new project because we are done our Junk Kouture project;now we are doing portraits of our favourite famous person using the inside of cassette tapes.
In science this term we are working on our sci-fest projects because we didn't get into the Young Scientist competition.
Tomorrow we are going into Dublin to the RDS to see the young scientist exhibition and our art teacher is hoping to take us on a trip to the art museum near Easter,we also have our retreat and smile a mile to look forward to this term too.
I am doing my Sci-fest project in a group of 3!We are doing our project on Dreams!We want to find out what causes dreams and what influences them.We have lots of work to do because the competition is really soon.Survey,results and repots have to be written,so we have to work very hard.
