During break on the 25th November the 1st year students years had a rounders game against the teachers. The teachers batted first, and Mr. O’Callaghan was the first batter and he had a fair hit but he only got to 1st base. The rest of the teachers batted with the help of a few 3rd year students with a surprisingly good hit from our History teacher, Ms. Kenny and our Computer Studies teacher, Ms. O’Kelly.
The teachers racked up 8 points. It should have been more if it wasn’t for Robert Coakley’s amazing catches. Then it was the students turn. Thomas Howe was up first with a great hit managing to get to 2nd base, just sliding in there. Every student had a great hit and the students got up to 14 points. But according to the teachers it was 10 all! The students agreed (reluctantly) and we all called it a tie game. Everybody had a great time and the students cannot wait for the rematch.
Reported by Thomas Howe and Luke Quinn.

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.
