May 2017
Ms. Smith and three students from the Green Schools Committee (Rian, Sarah and Ivan) went to Gormanstown on May 25th to receive or 3rd Green Flag. Maith Sibh!
We are delighted to announce that we have received our 3rd Green Flag. Congratulations to all our staff and students especially Ms. Smith and her Green School committee. We are so proud!
On Friday February 10th we had our ‘Day of Action’ for our 3rd Green Flag, ‘Water’. Everyone wore blue and we tried very hard to have a ‘low water usage’ day. Each class carried out some water themed experiments. 1st and 2nd classes carried out experiments to investigate how The Water Cycle works: Condensation and evaporation experiments. 3rd and 4th classes constructed a weather station: Rain guage and anemometer.
Some of our students also took part in the Global Goal 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation Art competition where they created a poster to illustrate the theme. All children were given the opportunity to think of a slogan for our water theme. Ms. Smith collected all the slogans and compiled a rhyme (see below) with Michael, Ciara, Fiachra and Ivan. Well done to everyone for making such a huge effort! Maith sibh!
