The Green School Committee working on their project
on Biodiversity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
February 2011 - The Greenschool Committee acquired
a new compost bin for the school from Wicklow County Council.
We made out a rota of classes per month to use the bin.
We also made a list of organic waste that can be put in
the bin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In March 2011, the Greenschool Committee prepared
a plot for the
school's Wildflower Garden.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some children from Senior Infants helped Richard
plant a native alder tree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The school purchased a rotary clothes line recently
to save on energy bills.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Richard put up three more bird boxes in March,
one with a camera. The activity in
the bird box can be viewed on television in the computer
room.
There was great excitement in April as blue-tits could be
seen carrying in
materials for their nest.
