Sixth year students, Peadar Charles and Eleanor Rowland-McNamara report back on the recent Biology trip to the Natural History Museum, on Thursday, 21st February.

Eleanor Rowland-McNamara (6th Year)
On Thursday, 21st February the 5th and 6th year biology classes paid a visit to the Dead Zoo. We learnt about a number of evolutionary traits belonging to now endangered animals, both native to Ireland and exotic. Overall the trip was very enjoyable and extremely beneficial for our Leaving Certificate course.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
