During April, the TY students spent Thursday afternoons in Dun Laoghaire learning how to sail. Carly Gresak explains what they had to do.
The TY class spent Thursday afternoons during April sailing in Dun Laoghaire. We experienced a new sport for some of us. For the first week it was freezing until we started on the water.

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
