Recently Claire from the SEAI visited our school. The boys and girls from 1st to 6th class learned all about the different types of energy, where we can find stored energy and also how energy can be changed from one kind of energy to another.
Recently senior members of our Green Team attended a Marine Environment Workshop at the Spa hotel in Lucan. The event was hosted by Green Schools and was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance.
As Part of our Green School action plan we are making a big effort to create less waste and use less plastic. During our annual Trick or Treat for Temple Street fundraiser the St Margaret’s Green Team ran a competition encouraging the boys and girls to reuse old costumes and to create costumes from recycled materials.
St Margarets NS are delighted to introduce our new Green Team. Joey, Kinga, Rhys, Harry, Emma, Ryan, Kate and Conor. We are so proud of all the boys and girls who show such passion in caring for the environment and our global community. St Margaret’s has participated in the Greenschools programme for many years now.
To celebrate Climate Action Week and to further explore the Science Strand of Living Things, all classes in St. Margarets NS planted an assortment of tulip bulbs in our fantastic Greenhouse.
