2010/2011 Green Schools - CrannógBuí National School

Suzanne Tinney  came to our school on the Feburary 3rd 2011 to do a follow up assesment  on our green school activities. We all met in the senior room. Theresa  May told her all about the jobs. For Halloween Marie Mc Girr dressed up  as a recyling bin, Shane and Ronan made a house with solar panels on the  roof. All the children used recycled materials for their costumes  instead of shop bought ones. For some jobs we collect crusts every day  and put them out on the bird table, We have a Composting bin for our  crust, fruit skins/leftovers, when these mature, they are used in the  garden to fertilize the flowers and plants. We also wash and squash our  recyclable rubbish. Caoimhe told her that she turns off the lights at  breaktime. We shred paper every week and give it to someone who needs  it. We wash out jam jars and use them on the nature table. We have a few  bins and they are smaller than the ones we had. We placed them all  around the school. We reuse our paper for art. It looks very colourful.
