Green Schools Day of Action
​

​In preparation for our Action Day, we drew a map and highlighted the


areas to be cleaned. We designed posters advertising our clean up and


displayed them around our school. We created a display advertising our


Day of Action in the Parish Hall on the day of the fundraising walk for


our school on the weekend before the clean up. We surveyed members


of the local community and shared tips for recycling. We invited the


Parents’ Association committee to take part in the Spring Clean.

 
On the 26th April, we had our Green Schools Day of Action which


coincided with the An Taisce’s National Spring Clean week. We began


in the morning with a clean-up of the school and local area including the


church grounds and the village green. The litter was sorted into


recyclable and non-recyclable materials. We created imaginative pieces


of art reusing recyclable materials such as newspaper, cardboard and


plastic. We also did science experiments using recyclable materials. Our


guest speaker from Cork County Council, Colette Creedon visited the


school to give a workshop on litter and waste management and energy


efficiency for the senior classes. Meanwhile, the children in junior


classes enjoyed stories about ‘Litterbug Doug’ and ‘Michael Recycle’


and made posters of their own recycling superheroes.


 
It was a great day which taught us that we are all responsible for our


local environment and ensuring that it is kept litter free and looking its


best.
 


We would like to thank everybody who helped to make this such a


​successful day!
