The 5th Year LCVP class not only organised the School Walk in aid of Barretstown on Wednesday, 16th May, they also managed the weather perfectly! Tomas Hennessy (2nd Year) and Aaron Sheridan (5th Year) write about their experiences.
On Wednesday, 16th May, we went on our school walk in the Wicklow Way. While we were there we had three stops. During the first stop we saw a really beautiful waterfall - Powerscourt Waterfall - and also a nice view of the Sugarloaf. At our second stop we were down near a small stream. While we were walking up to the third stop Mr. Russell stopped us and showed us the Irish Sea. At the end of the day, Mr. Russell told us that we probably finished the walk in the fastest time. It was a very sunny day and the scenary was really awesome. (Click on thumbnail to open an enlarged version of image.)

The whole school went on a sponsored walk, in aid of Barretstown, up the Wicklow mountains. The day was a great success and luckily the weather stayed dry. It was a great day out that everyone enjoyed.

The 1st years completed a zombie lab today where they used their scientific methods and thinking to identify patient zero from the zombie suspects. Using measuring skills, pH, observation skills and much more they successfully identified the source of the outbreak!

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.
