On Tuesday, 2nd May, Ms O'Sullivan and the 5th Year Biology students visited Dublin Zoo to undertake their Ecology field trip.
The 5th year students visited Dublin Zoo as part of their ecology module in biology. There they had the opportunity to carry out a habitat study which gave the students a deeper understanding of what ecology means.They carried out quantative and qualatitive studies, as well as collection and identification of plants and animals that lived there. Students also had the opportunity to visit the animals in Dublin Zoo, which I think was the most exciting part for them!

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.
