WE RECENTLY PARTICIPATED IN OUR LOCAL SPRING CLEAN. MR. MOORE’S CLASS AND OUR GSSC WENT OUT AND ABOUT AROUND THE VILLAGE. DUNLEER TIDY TOWNS HELPED AND COLLECTED OUR LITTER BAGS AFTER THE CLEAN UP.
DUNLEER TIDY TOWNS ALSO HELPED US TO CLEAN UP OUR WILD FLOWER AND COMPOST AREA. THE USED ELECTRICAL TOOLS TO CUT DOWN BRANCHES AND CLEAR OUT PLANTS WITH DEEP ROOTS.
OUR BUDDY BENCHES AND PLANTERS WERE FINALLY READY TO PUT INTO THE SCHOOL YARD. WE MADE THE PLANTERS FROM RECYCLED CABLE REELS AND PADDY HOLDCROFT AND DAVID FROM DUNLEER COMMUNITY HUB HELPED US TO PAINT THEM AND PUT PLANTS IN THEM.
WE HAVE BEEN BUSY LOOKING AFTER OUR SCHOOL GROUNDS, DOING LOTS OF WORK TO MAKE IT LITTER FREE AND COLOURFUL. DUNLEER TIDY TOWNS AND DUNLEER COMMUNITY HUB HAVE PLAYED A HUGE PART IN THIS. THEY ARE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNERS!
WHAT’S NEXT??
WE ARE CONSTANTLY COMING UP WITH IDEAS TO ADD TO THE BEAUTY OF OUR SCHOOL. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN PALLETS FROM SOME OF OUR PARENTS AND FROM GLEN DIMPLEX.
OUR NEXT PROJECT IS TO UPCYCLE THE PALLETS BY CREATING “HANGING GARDENS” FOR THE SCHOOL WALLS LIKE THESE:
WE WELCOME AND IDEAS THAT CAN HELP US ENHANCE OUR SCHOOL ESPECIALLY IF UPCYCLING AND RECYCLING ARE INVOLVED!
