Today some of our Green Schools Committee, along with some volunteers, planted the first of our School Garden bulbs. We planted garlic and onions today. These will hopefully be ready for harvesting in June. We will be putting a special cover over the bed to keep the bulbs safe from the frost and cold weather over the coming months. Our next set of seeds to be planted will be in March. Let’s hope the weather has improved by then.
On Tuesday 3rd, 4th and 6th class took part in Nature’s Energy Workshops with Martina Butler from Heritage In Schools. We had a fantastic day learning all about where Nature gets its energy from and how this is used. We also learned a lot about how we can be responsible global citizens and better take care of nature all around us. We played games where we learned more about energy in nature and we got to do a bug hunt around the ATU ground in the sun. Lots of learning and lots of fun.
Thanks to all the children that cycled walked or scooted to school today. It was lovely to see you all arriving on your bikes and scooters. We hope you enjoyed your journey on such a beautiful morning.
On Wednesday our Green Schools Committee organised a spring clean around our school, car park and the church. We had lots of volunteers and we collected lots of rubbish.
Thank you to our Green Schools Committee for organising such a fantastic event.
Our Green School Committee
We are very proud to be working towards our 7th Green School Flag. Over the next 18 months we will be working hard towards our Global Citizenship Energy Flag. Our committee have been extremely busy so far this year reintroducing many of our pre-covid Green School initiatives. We have reintroduced battery recycling, composting, ‘Last Out Lights Off’, and recycling. We are also very busy organising our big An Taisce Spring Clean which will be taking place in the school on Wednesday 19th April. Make sure to keep up to date with all our Green School work on our blog, Facebook page and on our Green School Notice Board in the school.
