Welcome to Scoil Chormaic’s Green Day

Litter and Waste

Over the last two years the pupils have been working hard towards achieving our first Green Flag for litter and waste.

Look at all the changes we have made!

Each classroom now has a brown bin where we put all our left over food and fruit.

Look at Our Healthy Lunches

We are now bringing our lunches in a lunchbox. Look how healthy we are too!

Some children are also bringing a plastic bottle to school every day, thus helping to reduce packaging in Scoil Chormaic.

Look at our fantastic Teachers

The teachers have been helping too, by reducing the amount of photocopying they do.

They are now photocopying on both sides of paper instead of using one side.

Recycle Bins

Each class now has a recycle bin to increase recycling in class.

Autumn Fun Day

On the 24th of October 2014 we had an Autumn Fun Day. Our dress-up theme was ‘What I Want to Be When I Grow Up'. Some parent volunteers prepared activities for our children using recycled materials.

Here are more recyclable materials that our parent volunteers used as

part of our Autumn Fun Day.

Can you think of any items that can be recycled?

List some items that can be put into the recycle bin in your class?

The Green School Committee

We are now going to listen to some children who were previously on the Green School committee and hear about all the excellent work they did.

We monitored the amount of packaging in each classroom every week and drew graphs based on this information.
