Green Flag- Global Citizenship Marine Environment.

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Patricia Quinn

We have begun work for our next Green Flag- Global Citizenship, Marine Environment with a visit to Ross Beach, near our school. We cleaned up a section of the beach to kick start work on this flag and to raise our awareness of the kinds of rubbish that gets washed up by the ocean.

We love Autumn-digging the potatoes and making chips.

Posted on September 23, 2017 by Patricia Quinn

Thank you to Dolly who helped dig the potatoes, wash, peel, chop and cook the chips. We did not need any help eating the chips! They were delicious.

‘Be the solution not the pollution’ Renewable Energy at Killala St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2017.

Posted on March 18, 2017 by Patricia Quinn

We choose the theme of Energy for the Killala St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We are currently in year two of the Global Citizenship Energy Flag ad students wanted to share their learning with the wider community. Children dressed as Wind, Water and Sun to promote their support for these three forms of renewable energy in the local community. They also shared their Green Code with spectators at the reviewing stand: ‘Be the solution not the pollution’.
