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.
We celebrated Maths Week this year from 17th- 21st October. Ms. Keegan who is our school science coordinator, organised a jam packed week of activities for all classes in our school.
5th and 6th Class took a trip to ‘Dream Space’ in One Microsoft Place. In preparation for their visit, they pondered the questions: ‘How will the world be different in 2050?’ and ‘What would you like to be when you grow up?’.
The children came up with their own slogans and colourful posters to promote the importance ‘being active’. They came up with so many creative ideas and the overall winner was Zoe Madigan in Third Class who came up with the slogan ‘Put Down Your Switch and Get On The Pitch’.
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.
This years Active Squad is made up of children from Infants to 6th class. The children in the Active Squad have the busy job of organising fun activities and sports events for the whole school. hey are also responsible for setting up the equipment for our active yards daily as well as acting as playground leaders.
