Green School Energy Week
As part of our Green School’s campaign, we had a Green School Energy Week. This took place from Monday April 30th to Friday May 4th, ending in Green Day when pupils were asked to wear green to school.
We had a Green Schools slogan competition with one senior winner and one junior winner. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in both categories will get a prize sponsored by the Parents’ Council. Winners announced shortly.
Classes also learned about renewable and non-renewable energy and ways of saving energy. Some classes played a game available from Wexford County Council and provided by SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) to further consolidate this.
As part of our policy, two energy wardens from each class fill out an Energy Warden Checklist daily.
Pupils were also made aware of an energy talk in Gorey Library on May 15th. This talk was given by Three Counties Energy Agency. A link to their website can be found here.
The pupils learned an energy kit can be borrowed from Gorey Library. This kit helps with saving energy in the home. It is sponsored by SEAI.
Well done to everyone for their hard work.
Da Vinci Art
This week we learned about the life and art of Leonardo da Vinci. We each received a portion of his painting ‘The Last Supper’ and we finished it off. We were very proud of our masterpieces!
First Communion preparation
China
We’ve been learning all about China in 2nd class. We even got the chance to interview Mia from 5th class who lived in China until she was 8. It was so interesting to learn about Chinese school, languages, food, animals and famous landmarks.
