Green Schools

On 25th of November the senior room and 2nd class went on a walk with Áine and Ms. Gallagher up the Point road. We looked at all the hazards on the road. One of the things we noticed was that the school ahead sign is not working as the lights do not flash and it is nearly covered with bushes.
The next hazard we saw was there is a lot of briars sticking out on the side of the road and children can not stand in properly and could get hit with on-coming traffic.
Another hazard is the bend very near the school and it is hard to see around it. So a car going up or down the road might hit a pedestrian if they were going too b fast as the visibility is not good on that bit of road.
We hope you listen to all these hazards and be careful collecting and bringing your child or children to school and from school.

Our Walking Report

From 2nd class up went on a walk. A girl called Áine came with us. We looked at road safety out on the Point road. We had to write the things that were bad and good about road safety. We had lots of fun doing it. Lara had to wear a thing that counted your foot steps. I walked 2654 steps. We were looking for hazards .The first hazard we saw was that the school ahead sign lights weren't flashing. The next hazard was there were a few bends where you couldn't see the on coming traffic. It was very dangerous. Then we went back to school and Áine showed us a video about the earth. It was very funny. But it showed us about how the sea levels are rising up. And how the earth is cold and how it is warm. The way it is getting warmer is something called greenhouse gases. One of them is called Carbon Dioxide. We looked at how to get to school without putting too much Carbon Dioxide in the air. There are loads of ways to go a short distance and long distances .You could: park' n stride, cycle, walk and carpool.

Please listen to all of the warnings on road safety!
