Birds of Prey visit

4/6/2015

Today we had some interesting visitors to Scoil Chríost Rí. The Green Schools Committee arranged for Jurgen from Munster Falconry to bring some birds of prey to our school. He brought a selection of owls, falcons and hawks. We really enjoyed seeing these magnificent birds up close. Some of us even got to hold one! We learned a lot about what they eat and why they are an important part of nature. We also learned about the threats to their survival. Thanks to Jurgen for the fun and informative display!

Green Schools visit to Seed Savers

2/6/2015

Today, the Green Schools Committee and some representatives from each class in the senior end of the school visited Seed Savers in Scarriff. Áine discussed what biodiversity is with us. We learned that biodiversity includes all living things on planet Earth. We discussed why it is important, what damages biodiversity and what we can do to help it.

Next, we conducted a biodiversity audit. We recorded flora (plants and trees) and fauna (animals, birds, insects) in the forest. Some of the flora we saw were hawthorn, blackthorn, ash, alder, ivy, holly, brambles, ferns, buttercups, daisies, bluebells.
Then we examined creatures that live in a pond. We saw tadpoles, water beetles, pond skaters and newts.
Finally, we collected bugs in the organic garden and examined them under magnifying glasses. We made sure to release all the creatures back where we had found them.

Thank you so much to Áine and Veronica at Seed Savers for such an enjoyable trip!
