Trip to Rediscovery Centre

 Linking with our Greenschools program, the children from 5th and 6th visited the Rediscovery Centre in Ballymun.  Alongside their peers from 3 other Trim primary schools, the children learned all about the circular economy, recycling and upcycling from their knowledgeable guides Lara and Jackie. They learned that waste can be used to heat a building, feed plants or can be repurposed for other uses. This trip was extremely interesting, educational and  valuable and the children took a lot of inspiration from their day here. We would like to sincerely thank Michael, Vicky and all of Trim Climate Action who arranged and funded this trip.♻️

Growing Cress

 The children in the middle room planted cress, documenting the process and how it grew and changed over time. The children really enjoyed taking care of the cress and seeing how much it grew.

Middle Room Nature Walk

The middle room took advantage of our great location and the good weather and went for a nature walk down by the Boyne.  They kept a look out for all of the things on their nature checklists and got to check nearly all of the items off! Well done guys 💚

 

Planting salad seeds with Pauline

 Pauline very generously organised and helped the children in the Junior Room plant salad seeds which they will bring home. They planted lettuce, beetroot and more! Pauline is so generous with her time and expertise, she is an inspiration to these budding young gardeners 💚

Book Week

 The children celebrated Book Week by dressing up as a character from their favourite book!  See some of the fab outfits below.

Antonia kindly invited us to Antonias Bookstore, where she read a brilliant book for us and we got a new book each with our Book Week tokens 📚🩵 

Many thanks to Antonia for inviting us annually, the children really enjoy this special visit 🥰
