This week was Walk to School Week!!
We all tried to walk some if not all of the way to school. Lisa from An Taisce came to help us too!!
Well done everyone!!
You are all helping to keep our school environment a cleaner healthier place!!
Heres how we did it.
Ms Ahern’s class blew up the balloons and Denis hung them up for us!!
Mr Dooleys class made posters with some very catchy slogans!!
Collette our lollipop lady helped us cross the road safely.
It was great fun!!!!
On the 28th of March the Greenschool Committee conducted a walkability audit of the area around our school.
We looked at the condition of the foothpaths, the signs around our area and whether it is safe for walking or not.
We had lots of jobs to do
On Thursday 23/3/2017 Lisa O’Grady from An Taisce visited Greenmount. She spoke to the children about Scooter safety.
She gave out prizes to the children who scooted to school during the week.
The children from the committee introduced Lisa.
We had a great day!!
This week was our scoot to school week. The children had great fun scooting to school. Hope you enjoy our photo’s:
This is our hard working committee for this year:
On Friday the 23rd of September we started our first of five cycling workshops! We first learned how to fit our helmets correctly and went through all safety checks for our bikes. After that we worked in groups where everybody had their own bike. We particularly enjoyed the slow bike race as we had to have great control over our bikes. We also tried sudden stop races and manoeuvring around cones. Some people even learned to ride a bike for the first time!!! Fantastic fun was had by all and we are already looking forward to next week!!!
In our school hall we unveiled a healthy school mural to mark all of our efforts to be a health promoting school.
This week we proudly raised our third Green Flag for water conservation and our Health Promoting School Flag.
Our Green Schools Committee travelled to Little Island to be presented with our 3rd Green Flag. This is an amazing achievement for our school. Well done to Ms. Clune, Ms. Ahern and the Green Schools Committee!
Members of our Healthy Green Schools Committee traveled to Dublin recently to the first national Green Schools Expo with Ms. Ahern and Ms. Clune. The exhibition was a showcase of the Green Schools Programme and our committee came back full of ideas and energy for our next green flag!
