Today our Greenschool had a Zoom call with Picker Pals. After the meeting, we opened the box they posted us and found a lovely Picker Pal Pack consisting of two litterpickers, safety high visibility jackets, and Evanna volunteered to be the first member to take home the pack for the weekend and do some litter picking. Members will each be given a turn and are asked to try and take a photo and send it to Ms Brassil of their litter picking experience. This ties in so well with our GC Litter and Waste flag application this year. Well done to the committee for their super attention today.

Spring Clean All the classes took part in the annual Spring Clean. The classes decided on an area each to clean-left of the canal, right of the canal, St. Pat's GAA pitch etc. and went with litter pickers, gloves, wheelbarrow and rubbish bags in toe.
Our Planet
Ms. Debbie Moriarty’s 6th class watched the David Attenborough documentary ‘A Life On Our Planet’ and discussed Cop 26. They then researched projects based on ‘Our World’ and presented them today to the class. The standard of work was terrific. Well done to all.
Greenschool Day of Action
Our Greenschool Committee had our day of action with Ian McGrigor of Gortbrack Organic Farm. The children were great to come up with ideas of how to improve our school garden. Ian spoke about Biodiversity, identified our many trees for us and encouraged many habitats be embraced in our green space. Ian brought tadpoles and willow rods and was full of facts and information. Thanks to parent Caroline for coming along to the presentation and to our Principal Robbie O’Connell for taking the time to listen to the plans we came up with. The day was glorious with sunshine and I hope we can use some of these ideas going forward. Huge thanks to Ian for such an enjoyable day.
