A visit to the water tower

 

• Getting recycled rainwater from Barry the Water Barrel (our Water Butt) for an experiment!

A fun and fact filled day was had by Mrs Murphy and representatives of the Green Schools committee at a water forum day held in Adare.

Well done to staff and pupils of Herbertstown NS on the great work being done in an effort to save water and work towards achieving another green flag for saving water.

The Green schools committee is made up of staff (Mrs Murphy, Miss Davis, Breda Kennedy, Niall Malone) and pupils from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. The ‘Litter Legions’, ‘Water Wardens’ and ‘Switch off Squad’ have been really busy since September ensuring we all maintain a green environment in Herbertstown N.S. This year we are working on ways we can save water in the school in the hope of gaining a third Green flag for the school. 

 

NEWS: During November the pupils were involved in creating a water slogan. Stay tuned to discover the results.
