Green Schools Banner competition

As part of our work towards our Green Schools Travel flag, all students were asked to design a banner that encourages people to help improve the quality of the air for everyone in our school communities.
The winners in St. Joseph’s were:
Insiya Imran – Junior
Eve Kenny – Middle
Chloe Melia – Senior

Eve’s banner was also a national winner!
A representative from Green Schools came to St. Joseph’s to present her with her enlarged, printed banner and a voucher to buy herself plenty of art supplies. Well done Eve!

Green Schools Poster Competition 📗

As we work towards our third Green Schools flag for water, children across all classes designed a poster with a slogan.
As you can see below by the winning posters from each class, the standard was very high.
Well done to the Overall Winners; Daniel Doyle (Junior) and Chloe Melia (Senior)!

 

SEAI Workshop

Ciara from SEAI came to the school in October. She visited two classes and did workshops with them. She also did a workshop with the staff after school. Ciara taught us about energy; how energy is made and how to conserve it. She brought her puppet, Guzzler, into 2nd Class. We learned a great deal from her and enjoyed the workshop.

Here is a video of one of the activities:
