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!
THIS TIME OF YEAR IS A BUSY ONE. WE HAVE JUST FINISHED OUR ANNUAL SPRING CLEAN AND WE ARE CURRENTLY PLANTING FLOWERS IN THE SCHOOL GROUNDS AND IN THE WINDOW BOXES. WE PLANTED GARLIC AND ONIONS RECENTLY AND HAVE JUST SOWN PEAS AND DID SOME WEEDING.
