On 25th of March, 5th and 6th year Classics students attended a Leaving Cert lecture day in UCD. They attended seven 30 minute lectures on different topics related to the new Leaving Cert Classical Studies specification.
The event was organised by the CAI-T (Classical Assocation of Ireland - Teachers) with Access Classics in UCD. As the Classical Studies represenative on the committee, I was delighted to see a packed lecture theatre in UCD for the event. All seven lectures focused on the new learning outcome model of the specification. Well done to the 5th and 6th years for attending the lectures and engaging fully in the experience.

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.
