6th class target litter

Well done to Ms. Farrelly's 6th class for all the litter picking they did today. We wish they hadn't found quite so much litter.....what could we do about that I wonder?!

Really Rapping!

The Coiste Glas would like every class to learn the rap which Adam Forde composed. Have some fun with your class....and your teacher.....adding your own music and rhythm to the rap. Be creative!! Maybe you can add another verse to Adam's rap? If you think you can, let your coiste glas representative know.

Winning rap

This is a fantastic simple rap that won the green school poetry/song competition. Congratulations to Adam Forde who is in 1st class!

Lets go green
Lets go green
Come on everybody
And keep our school clean.

Its very simple
You know what I mean
If we work together
We will keep our school clean.

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.
