Spring has sprung, and so has our excitement in the classroom! As part of our ongoing Green House project, the children rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty planting garden peas. With great care and big smiles, each child placed their seeds into soil-filled pots, ready to nurture them over the coming weeks.
We are delighted to announce that St. Margaret’s NS has been named the overall winner of the Picker Pals 2025 Art Competition! Ms. Duffy’s 3rd and 4th class pupils created an eye-catching poster of our school using recycled materials, showcasing both their creativity and commitment to sustainability.
5th & 6th Class planted a Hawthorn tree for National Tree Day. The beautiful Hawthorn Tree was kindly donated by the Tree Council of Ireland. The children learned loads about trees and appreciating the planet we live on.
Earlier this year every class in St. Margarets NS planted bulbs in our school greenhouse. The Green Team take pride and responsibility in ensuring our plants receive adequate water throughout the week
3rd and 4th Class were busy this term making bird feeders. Children designed and made bird feeders using recycled bottles, string and a limited supply of materials
Earlier this year Ms. Dunne and the Green team devised a fantastic new challenge, to support our school’s application for our 8th green flag. This flag relates to work on Global Citizenship and the Marine Environment.
