Well done to Heidi on her acrostic poem for Earth Day

Earth day is amazing,

And it’s celebrated every year

Reduce, reuse, recycle

To keep the planet clear.

Help us through this journey by

Donating to all good charities,

All the animals deserve to be cared for,

Yes, these are our priorities.

On Tuesday the 20^th of April 5^th and 6^th did a litter pick for Earth Day around the school. Earth day is an event in April where we raise awareness for the climate. We split into groups of two with one litter picker per group. We started with the car park and then moved onto the yard and the astro then we finished of with the garden area. Mr Ruane then joined in and gave us a hand. Most of the rubbish we found was small but we found large pieces of plastic and some plastic bottles. In total we collected half a bin bag of rubbish. We plan to do another litter pick around Kilmurry village next week.
