We have made a great start to 2015 with everyone busy working
towards our sixth green flag "Global Citizenship- Litter and Waste"
Junior and Senior Infants planted bulbs in our rooftop
garden and have learnt what waste goes into the green bin the grey bin and the
brown bin.
First Class are working towards the Trocaire Better
World Award- best of luck to them.
Second Class have just completed a marvelous project
on Recycling. We all now know that our nearest recycling centre is in Liosbaun
Industrial Estate and we can bring waste electrical items there.
Third and Fourth Class amazed us with their project on
Fairtrade. We can all recognise the fairtrade symbol now and will be looking
out for it on our bananas, coffee and chocolate!
Fifth Class produced a terrific project on Climate
Change. From them we learnt that the fossil fuels we use such as coal. oil and
gas are causing our climate to change resulting in tsunamis in some countries
and severe drought in others.
Well done to Sixth Class
for all their hard work on The Crocus Project. They have been working on this
since October and have highlighted the importance of tolerance and respect
among different cultures.
Our thanks to M.
Siobhan for all her hard work with the ‘Green School Project.’
The pre-school children are
very busy exploring themes on Spring and creating Valentine crafts.
