Louis Gilmartin (TY) explains what happened at the TY Driving Day on Thursday, 31st January.
On Thursday, 31st January, the Transition Year students had driving lessons and lessons about the Rules of the Road at the Rosemary Smith Driving Academy. Although there were a few accidents, each of us managed to catch on well and pick up important things that you have to know. This Driving Day has encouraged us to focus more on learning about driving, pushed us towards wanting to practice driving and to complete our theory test.
Overall, I think all of us enjoyed this day and thought it was important for us.

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.
