Green Bag Recycling

We had a recycle day on Wednesday 27th September.

We all helped to put the bags into the van. We counted the bags. We worked in pairs. We had 90 bags! It was a wet day but we enjoyed helping out.

On Friday the 29th of September Class 6 delivered our original fairy tales to Kinder A and B. It was a great experience for us to interact with younger children. It was so fun for us to entertain them and answer their questions. We have learned the patience it takes to teach younger children! We also learnt some new creative writing techniques, how to draft our work and how to work in pairs. We really enjoyed this experience and hope to do more activities like this in the future.

On Wednesday 13th September 2017, our school celebrated the raising of our 4th Green Flag for Travel, awarded to us last May in the Helix.

We were very privileged to have the Defence Forces’ Army Band, led by Captain Fergal Carroll, come to the school and perform for us at the ceremony. They played a wide repertoire of music and taught us about the different instruments and how they work. The girls really enjoyed the Military March, ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’, ‘On Top of the World’ and ‘Frozen’, to name but a few. We thank them for an incredible afternoon. This concert was followed by the raising of the green flag by Carola, Elizabeth and Rachel, the Green Schools Representatives from Class 6, and  Claudia Ní Dhonnchadha Sabato. We then had an ice-cream van ready to continue the celebrations after lunch.

We would like to thank the full school in helping us to achieve the Green Schools Travel Flag and we hope that everyone continues to make an effort to ‘Walk, Cycle, Scoot or Run, it Doesn’t Matter, it’s all Fun!!’
