Our Eco-Code!

 

Eco-council takes over Bobby's nature club!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Mrs Moran took over Bobby's after school club as the torrential rain stopped us from building the bug hotel. We did lots of activities which will help us get our action plan well under way. We made posters, created dance moves for our eco-code and observed wildlife from our window. Darach, Owen and Fiontan made a tally chart so we can start to count how many plastic bottles we use in school.

 

The finished Eco-Code

Look after the world

and the world will look after you.

Let's make a start at Seaview!

 

The grass is green

The sky is blue

Let's make it grow at Seaview!

Working together to create our Eco-Code!

Darach's Eco-code poem

Look after the world

and the world will look after you.

Let's make a start at Seaview!
