TY's have been learning to code in Python since January using pytch.org as the way to transition from Scratch to Python. Pytch is developed by Trinity College Dublin and TY's were invited to participate in a further research project where Pytch works with micro:bits.
Computer Science Education researchers from TCD joined the TY Computer Studies class on Monday 8th April. The TY's used pytch.org and micro:bits to modify a car game! A big thank you to Trinity for inviting us to take part and to the TYs who took part in the research.

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.
