ECO focus - Noel Lyons from Arc21 visits St Patrick’s

We had a wonderful ECO day in school on Tuesday, focusing on WASTE, with Noel Lyons from Arc 2.  He visited all the primary 4 to 7 pupils and spoke to the children about waste.

Noel also did lots of different art activities using waste materials such as paper and cardboard boxes. Primary 5 designed bookmarks, our Eco team made pencil cases, Primary 6 designed some lovely badges with the recycling message “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.”

The lasting memory for a lot of our pupils seems to be the jars passed around that smelled of a rubbish dump!
