He made it! Ok he didn’t get in the car so I had to walk him to DCU but I refuse to accept any criticism. All the @CTYI Zoology kids loved him. Thanks to @SpillzHinch for looking after him and to @AoifeMurphy01 for the fab photos. @DCU

Replying to @CTYI
As I sat up and took in my surroundings I found that I had been correct, I was in a metal room with a single door and window. I didn’t feel frightened, and I was no longer in pain. With a start I saw my bullet wound was gone, and in the distance I could see my mother.

What's the best thing I've experienced as an educator so far? One of our students dressing up as @JamieNoTweet to give her presentation on scientific myths To say my face was sore from laughing is an understatement... @CTYI @Cora_Lambert98

It's absolutely @DCUEngineering's pleasure. Labs are designed for learning and for students and now that we can provide them safely, we will hopefully inspire some @CTYI students to become engineers and scientists of the future!

Tomorrow is the last day of our short term of online courses @CTYI. Some parents responded with very nice comments about how their kids are enjoying the classes and we greatly appreciate this. The staff work so hard and they really are a fantastic bunch! Bentley knows this @DCU
