Our 4th Green Flag
Our 4th Green flag was based on Transport. We had to try and get people to cut down on CO2 emissions, ways of doing this was to get people to walk or cycle short distances. We tried to get people carpooling. For a week in every term we did a transport survey. We encouraged as many as possible to walk or cycle to school. We got all our families and the community to become involved in reducing our carbon footprint.
All
our hard work paid off when the Minister for environment and local government Mr. John Gormley hoisted our 4th Green Flag in June 2008. We also prepared a power point presentation of our progress in the last 8 years. Mr Gormley gave a speech after the power point. When he had finished his speech, Junior Infants presented him with the flag and they got their photograph taken with Mr. Gormley.
All the pupils, teachers and parents and relatives went outside to see
Mr Gormley hoist our 4th green flag. When he had hoisted our green flag we went inside and the adults went into the hall for tea, cakes and sandwiches. While the pupils went down to a classroom where we were allowed watch a film called Mr. Bean’s holiday. We were given orange and a packet of crisps we were also given buns and biscuits from the hall. We were then allowed to go home with our parents when they were leaving. It was a very successful day.
