Ms. Shovlin’s Class visited the Rediscovery Centre in Ballymun and participated in a Litter and Waste Workshop which was sponsored by WEE Recycling Ireland. Pupils had an opportunity to play games in which they picked the correct bin, they guessed how long it takes various items to decompose and they finished up by making crafts using recycled materials.

The school won the competition based on recycling initiatives, clean-up days and our new school garden. We will continue to make our school environment more beautiful this year.
