Water Ecology Workshop

Senior room pupils enjoyed a wonderful field trip to the local stream for a Water Ecology workshop with local heritage expert, Lorraine O’ Sullivan. We are very blessed to have a school close by a stream and surrounded by beautiful scenery for some hands on activities.  Pupils examined the the life of waterbugs & freshwater creatures. We were all truly amazed to discover the biodiversityof creatures living in &around waterways. Pupils observed  waterbugs under the digital microscope and learned to re cognise how certain species indicate the health of a waterway. They also examine & handled a taxidermy collection of native birds & mammals.
