Stratford has been privileged to have Tomi Reichental visit the school on previous occasions. However Tomi's latest visit on Wednesday, 17th November was very special as it was online. The whole school community was invited to Tomi's lecture about his life and in particular his experience of surviving the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
Tomi's lecture was broadcast in each classroom around the school. We were able to see in detail the artefacts he showed such as photographs and newspaper cuttings.
Sincere thanks to Ms Kenny for organising this important visit from Tomi as part of Holocaust Studies. The Holocaust Education Trust of Ireland (HETI) has more details about Tomi Reichental.

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.
