As part of the Green Schools initiative, Scoil Mhuire works hard every year to maintain the green flags we have been awarded for operating a greener, more environmentally aware school. This means we are conscious of how much energy we consume and how much waste we as individuals and as a school generate. Together we work to be as efficient as possible, recycling, reusing and minimising our carbon footprint. To this end we held a low energy day at school last week, using- as far as possible no electricity. We had no lights in the corridors or classrooms, no white board to help us learn and no gadgets whatsoever! Not only did we save on our energy bill that day! but it also gave us an insight into how dependent we are on electricity to power our learning.
We spent some time with the children in room three, reading books in the dark, using torches and mirrors to light our way!
