The document discusses Scoil Chormaic's efforts towards achieving their first Green Flag for litter and waste. Some changes they have made include adding brown bins to each classroom for food waste, encouraging healthy lunches and reusable water bottles, reducing photocopying, and adding recycling bins. An Autumn Fun Day was held where activities used recycled materials. The school also has a Green School Committee that monitors packaging waste, designed a Green Code, and is now working towards an energy flag. Winners of an art competition on litter and waste are about to be announced.

have been working hard towards
achieving our first Green Flag for
litter and waste.

made!

food and fruit.

 We are now bringing
our lunches in a
lunchbox. Look how
healthy we are too!
 Some children are
also bringing a
plastic bottle to
school every day,
thus helping to
reduce packaging in
Scoil Chormaic.

5. Look at our fantastic Teachers
 The teachers have
been helping too, by
reducing the amount
of photocopying they
do.

photocopying on both
sides of paper instead
of using one side.

6. Recycle Bins
 Each class now
has a recycle bin
to increase
recycling in class.

7. Autumn Fun Day

October 2014 we
had an Autumn Fun
Day. Our dress-up
theme was ‘What I
Want to Be When I
Grow Up'. Some
parent volunteers
prepared activities
for our children
using recycled
materials.
