 Albert Nolan , a Bio-Diversity and Natural Heritage Expert came to visit us today . Albert visited each class and brought them on a nature walk in the school grounds investigating different habitats, creatures and plants that exist around our school . 

 

We would like to thank Albert for giving us his time. It was a very informative and enjoyable experience for all . A visit which is sure to help towards the application for our next Green Flag- Biodiversity .

Green-Schools Update💚💧💦

We are only a few months away from hopefully renewing our Green Flag. The Green -Schools committee are busy preparing for our renewal visit next month. 

We are encouraging the school community to be more conscious of conserving water by not letting the taps run , using half flush button on toilets when possible, gathering rainwater in the garden, taking a shower instead of a bath, turn the taps off when brushing your teeth and reusing water in art class. 

Classes have also been busy covering many water lessons like the water cycle, floating and sinking,  testing waterproof materials, marine environment and uses of water. 

Don't forget our Green Code 

" Water Water Getting Less, Try To Save It Do Your Best " 

Green School Day of Action 💚

World Water Day!💧🌎

For World Water Day we talked about how oil doesn’t mix with water as it is less dense, and realized to our dismay we couldn’t wash it off our hands with just water alone! We then learned about the surface tension in water by blowing bubbles!
