The 1st Year Geography class made contoured mountain models. (Click on thumbnails to open an enlarged version of image.)
A number of the class explain what they thought of making the models:
Evan Matthews: "It was really fun to make the model. Mine was a sea with an island and a volcano."
Isabelle Byrne: "When I was making it I got a lot of paint and a lot of cardboard. To make it took two days. I enjoyed making it."
Daniel Eppel: "I really liked making the mountains because it took me about five minutes to make."
Jennifer Fehily: "I thought that making the mountains was really fun to make. I wish we always got homework to do with making things."
Niall Garvey: "Very interesting. I like how the models we made were 3D. I also like the designs on the models. It was a very interesting/fun project."
Oscar McHale: "To make the mountain we layered cardboard on top of each other and then painted them."

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
