On February 6th, at 6.20am, we left Dublin Airport to travel to Rome. We were all so excited for our big trip away. After our three-hour flight, we finally landed in Rome and were hit with the heat! We started our day with a four-hour walking tour of Rome. We visited many sights as part of this tour, including the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon.
In September, we started Junk Kouture by joining the two TY classes, splitting into groups of three, and pitching our ideas. For Junk Kouture, you need to make a dress or outfit entirely from materials which would otherwise be thrown away.
