On Tuesday, 5th April, Ms O'Sullivan and the 5th Year Biology students visited Dublin Zoo to undertake their Ecology Field Trip studies. Amy Connolly and Leah Gaynor report back on the day.
We had an out of the ordinary Tuesday on 5th April, as our Biology class visited Dublin Zoo. As it was Spring there was lots of new additions to the Zoo such as piglets and lion cubs. After that we did ecology experiments, where we learnt about local flora and fauna. I think now our class more of an appreciation for the nature that we have in Dublin.

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.
