Closely contested contest in the annual 2nd Year versus 3rd Year Classics Quiz on 19th January
Classics Quiz
On Wednesday morning, 19th January 2011, Ms.Donohoe held a Classical Studies quiz in which the 2nd years competed against the 3rd years. As the third years arrived the nerves came upon us. We had three rounds, two on the Iliad and one on The Swaggering Soldier. As the scores of round one were put up the 2nd years were in the lead. After three tense rounds the overall score proved bad news for the 3rd years as the 2nd years took the title along with four beautiful Classical keyrings.

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.
