Young Scientists Exhibition 2014

My friend and I visited the RDS in Dublin to see the 'Young Scientist Exhibition'. I don't think I would mind waking up so much if it was by this clock!

Mine-craft craft!

I decided to have a bit of fun with a friend of mine who is crazy about Mine-craft so I got some material from a shop in town, cut it to size and made a cube out if it. Then I attached black paper for the hair and white paper for the skin. After that I measured out and marked small squares and then filled them with different shades, making holes for the eyes. The particular head I made was my friend's favourite character in Mine-craft, Steve.

Well, I gave it to him and I can tell you, we had some craic with it lol!

Sailing Knots

I'm  looking forward to sailing this summer so i am practising my sailing knots.

Motorised bike

Around March I started looking into the idea of buying a motorised bike. I looked on line to see what the options were. I decided to buy a motorised bicycle kit. I took a loan out of the Credit Union to buy it and a new bike  and the engine arrived a week or two later.
I had to choose a bike that a big enough frame on it to fit the engine on it. My dad and I worked  on putting the engine on the bike for a couple of days. There were a few glitches so we got two mechanics on board and they soon sorted them out for us.
I have to keep the speed to a max of 22 kph per hour for the first 500k.

I really enjoy going out on my bike and I am glad I got it.
