Our new Green Schools committee members took up their duties this week. Each of the subcommittees is pictured below. No dripping tap is safe, no unnecessary light is left on, and everybody who walks, cycles, skates or car pools has their contribution to a greener school recorded. Our new committee is the biodiversity committee and they have lots of plans to increase biodiversity in our school garden. With the help of parents and the Bio-D squad children in the school will be making bug hotels and a wormery. Bugs (or minibeasts as they are also known) and worms play a very important part in increasing biodiversity. We are also hoping to collect seaweed over the next few weeks. Seaweed is full of nutrients which encourages growth in plants and we hope to use it as fertilizer for our flower beds. If you are down on the beach please collect a sandwich bag full of seaweed and bring it to Room 3 before Wednesday the 23rd of October.
Thank you for your continued help and support.
This year's Green Schools Committee. We have members from Senior Infants, First Class and Second Class.
This is our Water Squad. They make sure that dripping taps are found and fixed and monitor use of rainwater for art lessons.
Our Energy Squad make sure that no unnecessary electricity is used in school.
The Travel Squad checks to see how many people walk, scoot or car-pool to school every morning.
Meet our new Biodiversity Squad! They will be helping to make a wormery and bug hotel.
