Climate Action Week 2021

The children and staff in the Convent of Mercy National School had a busy and  fun filled week learning about our environment (both locally and globally).

Each class enjoyed taking part in a variety of learning activities.

Some of the activities included:

• Recycling workshop with Lorraine "Our Recycling Expert" 
• Nature Walks around our local environment
• Energy saving in classrooms
• Climate Change Projects
• Movie/Video Screening
• Songs and Raps
• Climate Change Posters
