My New Vivofit Jr 2

Hi there,
Today I am going to be talking about my new Garmin Vivofit Jr 2 watch which is a fitness watch that was made to encourage kids to do more exercise. I have had this watch for a week now and have found it very useful. It has loads of cool features on it as well as all the features a normal watch would have, these are some of its features:

• A step counter
• A fitness counter (which tells you how many minutes of exercise you have done that day
• A chore list were you can earn coins by doing chores around the house
• A system were you can cash in coins to earn for rewards
• A sleep counter 
• An app which can give you detail on sleep, activities etc.
• A game were you can only move level when you have done your 60 min of activity each day
• An alarm system 
• It is completely water proof so you can actually swim in it
• It has up to a one year long battery
• It has a timer/ a stopwatch
• A two minute challange

and you can have all your families watches attached to the one device.

They also have a range of  different bands which you can see here: The minnie mouse bands  The captain america bands and The star wars bands.  You can get the Garmin Vivofit Jr 2 app here for apple users and here for android users, you can also buy the watch here on the official garmin website

#bekind

Hi there,

Today I'm going to be talking about the #BeKind campaign, which is inspired by the book "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. 

Wonder is the story of a boy with a disfigured face who gets bullied a lot because of what he looks like.  My favourite quote from the book is "You can't blend in when you were born to stand out."  The book has also been made into a movie.  Watch the trailer here:

The #BeKind campaign is asking children around the World to CHOOSE KIND.  Here are some small ways we can all show kindness:

• Smile
• Hold open the door 
• Be on time
• Compliment others
• Strike up a conversation 
• Bite your tongue
• Check in with your loved ones
• Use your manners
• Be kind to someone you dislike

Engineers Week

Hi there,
As you probably know it was Engineers Week last week so I decided to do a little experiment/challenge using spaghetti and marshmallows. The challenge is to build the tallest structure possible in a set time using only spaghetti and marshmallows.  Afterwards, I had to perform the 'earthquake' test on a tray of jelly.  This is what happened...

Now that I've done it I think it's your turn - my challenge to you is to build a spaghetti and marshmallow contraption and then send me your photos through my contact area on the right 👉 of the page. I'm looking forward to seeing your attempts and Good Luck 😊

The Big Snow

Hi there,
In case you didn’t know Ireland has just experienced it’s biggest snow fall since 1947 and I am going to be talking about how much it impacted my family and I. To start off with I had a great time in the snow but there are of course other things that were a nuisance, such as;

All the shops were closed ☃
Our water stopped working for two days 💩
Our heating stopped working 😨
We couldn’t drive on the roads for a few days🚗
It was very awkward to go outside due to all the clothing I had to wear

However having said all that it was the best fun ever. I spent hours sledding with my friends, had a lot of snow ball fights and built a massive snowman ☃❄🌨

This is how snow forms:Snow Formation   This particular snow storm was called Beast From The East because the cold wind originated from Siberia.

All wrapped up

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Chillin' - literally!
