Repak Recycling Week 6th-12th October 2008

Repak recycling week runs from 6th to 12th October. Last year Repak funded the recycling of over 643,000 tonnes (circa 60%) of used packaging in Ireland!! That is a lot of packaging! Remember to use less, use again and recycle as many things as you can.

Back to Back

Comhghairdeas to Mrs. O'Connors Rang a 3 for being the first class (that we know of!) to photocopy onto the back of old, used pages. Way to go!! The Coiste Glas are proud of you, and the trees are happy too!

Remarkable Re-users!

Congratulations to Ms. Farrelly's rang a 6 for making excellent use of old materials in their art lessons. Already this year they have made gift bags from old milk and juice cartons, and they have made waster paper bins from old newspapers. Check out their class blog for more details.

Can you change the words of a popular nursery rhyme and give a "Green School" message?

This challenge is brought to you by the Coiste Glas and is open to all classes from 1st to 6th. The closing date is Friday 10th October....so get working!

"Humpty Dumpty sat on the bin......!!"
