Thursday, 5th May was Stratford's Sports Day and it proved to be a terrific day for sports, fun and weather! Thanks to Ms Finnegan and all who helped to make it a most enjoyable day. Conor Doheny, TY student, describes his experience of the day.
Just recently we enjoyed our Sports Day (on Thursday, 5th May). On this day we had many activities. We had organised team events like basketball and football tournaments where each team had a mixture of students from every year - that made it a bit more competitive. We also had all the fun Sports Day events like the 3-legged race, tug-of-war and bouncy castle races. It went back to the competitive side of things when we finished off with the sprints. For lots of photos see the 2015-2016 web gallery.

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.
