We decided to use our crops from our garden. We made delicious leek and potato soup yesterday with Ms. Griffin and Martina. The senior room pupils helped make the soup. We have lots of mini chefs in the making. The whole school got a cup of soup. It was so tasty and even better that we had our own home grown vegetables! #greenschool

Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Aoife and Damien who work with the Acres Scheme (The Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme). The Acres scheme aims to help farmers improve biodiversity, air and water quality, and climate resilience while also providing income support to up to 50,000 farm families. Aoife and Damien did a very interesting presentation about boglands in Ireland. We then had an opportunity to explore a local bogland beside the school. The children were very engaged and we all really enjoyed the trip. Thanks to Aoife and Damien for visiting us. #greenschool
