NEWS / 1 September 2025

Welcome to the TY Weekly newsletter! Four TY students - Oisin, Liam, Ciara and Brodie - have volunteered to co-ordinate getting all the news and images from their classmates for the newsletter. It will be published every Monday here on the TY blog. Let the fun begin!

  • Last Friday both TY classes enjoyed taking part in a capoeira workshop, which is a form of Brazilian fight dancing.
  • TY’s cleared out the polytunnel and the thorns/ overgrown weeds around the oak tree.
  • Reminder for all TY that tomorrow we are going out to Larch Hill at 5:45 when Rite Journey will commence. Make sure to have your childhood memory that you are fine with never seeing again and make sure to have your Stratford coat with you, if it gets cold and starts to rain.
  • This is the last week to ensure your parents have paid for the Delphi Trip as well as for students to bring in their signed forms so they are able to go.
  • Thanks for TY help in preparing the hall and helping the National School move into their new temporary classrooms

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