Maths, Charity Work and Road Safety....

The past two weeks have been manic in TY. Every other day we have talks on Income Inequality, UN MD goals ect. or trips. Last Friday we had a Maths trip to Rathbeggan Lakes in Meath. We had to complete challenges using Maths. The trip was fun but it was 4'C at the warmest part of the day. After we went to Blachardstown and I got Chinese with Sarah, Sophie and Sinead which really helped with my 'frostbite'.

There were also goats

On Wednesday we went into Dublin to sell holy for the ISPCC which is a childrens charity. We went off in pairs to sell around Grafton Street. Clara and I sold at the Powerscourt centre which was quite quite so we didnt sell much. When we were going back to the bus we ran into the Protest against the oncoming Water Charges. There were thousands of people protesting and chanting. We got stuck in our bus for a while but eventually the protest moved on to the Dáil.
     



Yesterday we went to Puchestown to a Road safety talk. There were lots of other schools (way more than we expected). We had a talk about being safe on the road and how road deaths can impact a person for their lives. Also Spencer from Home and Away was there which was an added bonus.
