Green Schools News: January 2025

On Thursday 12th December we held an Eco-Friendly Christmas Fair and Bake Sale in Taunagh NS. The Green Schools Committee organised and created, along with all the pupils, Christmas crafts to sell. The focus was on reusing/recycling and using sustainable materials to make the crafts. Toilet roll inserts were used to create star decorations, gonks were made from wool, old jars were turned into kindness jars, timber logs used to make wooden slices, reindeer and yule logs. Scrap timber was turned into Christmas trees, snowmen and Santa faces. Old school books were folded to create fabulous Christmas trees and CDs became reindeer ornaments.  It was a very successful event with the money raised going towards activities and resources in the school. A wonderful occasion for our school. Well Done to the Green Schools Committee

Green Schools News: February 2022

Our Green Schools Committee is busy completing the final steps towards our fifth green flag.  Our theme is Biodiversity.  We are looking at ways to increase awareness of native plants, animals and habitats in our locality.   Over the next few months, we will be assessed by the Green School’s Inspector.  If we are successful, we will be awarded our flag in June.  We have had lots of fun this year.  We have made fat balls to try to attract a variety of small birds to our school.  We have made Christmas decorations using recycled materials.  We are currently sketching habitat maps of our school garden.  We are using the app ‘PictureThis’ to identify the flowers, trees and plant life at our school.  Once the weather improves, we will begin work planting our school garden.  We will also have to repeat our Biodiversity Survey with the whole school.  Our results will be recorded on bar charts and hopefully we will see the improvements over the 2 year cycle!

Our current theme is biodiversity.
