Step 5: Curriculum Work
The boys and girls in Merlin Woods Primary School have
been busy learning about the things we can do to protect the earth and to make
it a cleaner and safer place for us to live.
All classes have learned about the things we can do
to reduce, recycle and reuse waste materials. In Junior and Senior Infants the
children reuse empty boxes and cartons on a daily basis to create pieces of
art. The children enjoy using their imaginations to create pieces of art with
empty boxes they have brought in from home.
All classes in the school participated in the Food
Dudes Programme at the beginning of this year. Eating more fresh fruit and
vegetables every day is an important part of sustainable living. The children learned about the benefits of
eating fruit and vegetables over processed packaged food items.
Múinteoir Eimear’s First Class learned about the
benefits of walking to school for their health and for the environment. The
children have made a special effort to increase their daily step count by
walking to school.
Our senior classes completed comprehensions and
small projects learning about how modern life is impacting and affecting
climate change. The children learned the negative impact of air and water
pollution on our world and the world we share with other animals. The children
in Fourth Class learned about the forest fires in Australia and how it impacted
on human and animal life there.
