TY students, Edward Keogh and Megan Harnett, writes about the progress of his class as they learn to ski on the dry slopes in Kilternan in preparation for their ski trip to Austria in early January.
Skiing in Kilternan has been great so far and I can't wait for Austria. We have gone skiing twice so far and have one week left. I find the funniest part about skiing is when you fall! Jennifer was going down the slope and fell and everyone laughed... including Jennifer!

For the past three Thursdays, the whole of TY were skiing in Kilternan in preparation for our ski trip to Austria in January. It was very eventful if I must say so myself! For example some people fell off the slope onto another slope, some people fell about 100 times and got loads of bumps and bruises to prove it! It was definitely worth it as it's yet another skill we have learnt so far in TY that personally I would love to use after school. Even though it rained in our last two lessons, we still went with it and persevered. I think collectively we all had a lot of fun and a lot of pain but I guess no pain no gain.

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.
