For the first-time ever students from Stratford College participated in the All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO). On Thursday, 27th January our 5th Year students worked through some really tough linguistic, logic and language problems.
In mid-November the 5th Years undertook a workshop with Cara Greene from the Adapt Research Centre to help everyone understand how to approach solving these problems.
We have realised that we have a lot more practice to do and plans are afoot so that we can achieve this aim.
Thanks to Ms Dos Santos (French), Ms Maxwell (Irish), Mr Fennell (Computation Linguistics) and Ms O'Kelly (Computer Science) for being involved.
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.
