Science Week 2017
By Kai Arthur
From
the 13th to the 17th of November we had
Science week. During science week we had a lot of fun activities like
assemblies and guest speakers the senior room did debating in front of the
school [to be completely honest it was really scary debating with everyone
looking at you], but it was really fun.
We also did science posters and a little
wrap. I think Science week was really fun and I can’t wait for next year.

Last
week was Science week 2017. It was great fun and I learned lots. I never knew
there was science behind skipping.
My
highlight of Science week was on Tuesday the 14th of November. On
that afternoon Dr Ross O`Neill came into us to talk about his new invention. Dr
O`Neill is a neuroscientist and he focuses on the human brain. He invented a
new device helps people with tinnitus. Tinnitus is a condition where there is a
constant high pitched drone, hissing or buzzing noise in the patient’s ear.
This device helps the patient’s brain to forget the noise. There is a thing
that is called a lollipop every time the patient hears a noise they put on
these special headphones place the lollipop in their mouth and presses a button
this slowly helps the brain realises the noises are not there. The mute button
has been tested 365 times and it has worked. I am so glad he came into us and
told us about his new invention I learned lots from his visit and I hope his
device is successful.

Dr O’Neill
came to my school on the 15th of November (so about a week ago). He
is a Neuroscientist (brain scientist). He has invented a cure for tinnitus - a
psychological problem when you hears noises that aren’t real (normally a
ringing noise) created by your own brain. I won’t go into details but it’s
pretty cool. He also told us why your ears pop and that the three smallest
bones I your body are in your ears (one for each ear), they’re most well known
as the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup (they also have technical names that I
don’t know of). To wrap it up, Dr O’Neill is a really nice (and smart) guy who
– by my opinion- has great taste in suits.

Aishling Kerwin
Science week, food
talk
Her business: cooking up
change
On
the Monday the 13th November, Aisiling Kerwin came in to talk to us about healthy
foods. She is a nutritional therapist. She was very interesting because first
she spoke all about the body and that it is proven that all the different foods
you eat all make a different but huge impact. After that she showed us a drink
it looked really nice it was a purple colour. After we had a taste (it was so
nice ) she told us that it was mainly beetroot. The good thing about this drink
was that it opened up you blood cells so if you go for a run you can get more blood
running through your system. After that we made a different drink it was a
green drink is tasted really good too this had pineapple, broccoli, spinach and
ice. After that drink we made something that was called chocolate balls these
had mulberries, cocoa powder, dates, all sorts of seeds and nuts, they were
really good I have made them at home and they were amazing as a treat.
We
had an amazing time and thank you Aisling for coming into us to talk to us it
was really appreciated.
Aisling Kirwan
Science week Food
Talk
On Monday the 13th
of November Aisling Kirwan visited our school. Aisling is nutritional therapist
and has her own company called cooking up change. She had a pretend body pop-up
book that showed us how good food and bad impacts our body and some of the boys
in 5th and 6th class decided to call him Steve!
Aisling told us
about different types of nutrition that our bodies need to be fit and healthy.
She also talked to us about bad food and sugars and the impact of them in our
bodies if you don't exercise.
After that she
showed us a healthy energy juice that she had made the night before. The juice
was a dark red sort of colour, it had beetroot, nuts and seeds, raspberries and
different types of forest fruits. Everyone got a small taste of the juice. In
my opinion, I thought the juice quite nice but other people thought it wasn't
that nice.
Then she made a
green energy drink she got some helpers and we all got a taste of that juice
too! Next, Aisling and some helpers made some healthy chocolate. The chocolate
was made out of cocoa powder, dates and different types of seeds. Of course
everyone got a taste of the chocolate as well!
At the end, everyone
said “thank you” to Aisling and everyone loved the talk and learned lots. I
loved having Aisling here and I have already tried to make some of the recipes.
