NEWS / 27 March 2026

As part of learning the Greek myth Narcissus and Echo, first years were given a Narcissus (daffodil) flower on Monday, 23rd March. They were asked to take a photo at the same time everyday.

On Friday 27th March, they were allowed to bring their phones to class (a rare occasion) to look compare how their Narcissus had bloomed. Well done to all of the first years for fully engaging with this activity and may the myth continue to echo in your ears!
