For three days, from Tuesday, 31st January to Thursday, 2nd February, the TY students were a hive of creativity in Song School writing songs, making videos of the songs and a separate film trailer. The class was split into four groups. Some of the TY students recount their experiences. (Click on thumbnails to open an enlarged version of image.)
"We created our own songs. We recorded them and then filmed them altogether as a group. It was entertaining." Sarah Cunningham
"We made a song and we made a music video. I helped film the music video. I learned to be steady with the camera. The best thing was making songs and looking at how the music was created." Stephen Fehily
"Editing was excellent. It was fun the way you can change things. The video made me laugh the most." Liam Hennessy
"It was ok. It was fun making the music videos and the film because it was easier. Making the songs was more difficult because people had different artistic ideas." Elan Bondi
"It was an interesting experience. My group made a hip-hop song. We also got to make a music video - that took a day to get together. We had to write a song, make a music video and make a film trailer." Michael Lawlor"

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.
