An Brat Glas 2012/’13 – Fuinneamh
Táimíd go léir ag obair go dian anois ar an mbrat Glas le haghaidh ” Fuinneamh” – an dara bhrat. Táimíd ag iarraidh gearradh siar ar an méid fuinneamh a úsáidimid ar scoil chun an costas a laghdú agus chun cabhrú leis an imshaoil. Leictreachas agus gáis atá in úsáid againn sa scoil agus an aidhm atá againn ná laghdú 10% a aimsiú i mbliana. Conas?
Tá liosta curtha le chéile againn do na ranganna:
1. Múch na soilse agus dún an doras sa rang ag am lóin, am sosa agus uaireanta eile gpo mbeidh an rang as an seomra aar feadh tamaill. – Turn off lights and close the classroom door at break times and when the class is not in use.
2. Múch soilse nach bhfuil in úsáid – Turn off any lights that are not required
3. Ísligh an teas in ionad fuinneoga a oscailt – Reduce heat instead of opening windows
4. Múch earraí leictreach gach tráthnóna – Switch off all electrical appliances each afternoon
5. Déan athchúrsáil – Recycle where possible.
We have chosen the motto ” Ná cuir fuinneamh amú, Gaelscoil Uí Riada abú” for our campaign and a poster competition was organised in school to design the best poster that we would use in our campaign. Congratulations to the winners and to the overall winner – Caoimhe Ní Sheasnáin from Rang 6.
CUAIRT NA SEANTUISTÍ
Mar chuid den bhfeachtas don Bhrat Glas, thugamar cuireadh do roinnt seantuistí teacht chun na scoile le déanaí chun labhairt leis na ranganna maidir leis an saol a bhí acu nuair va bh íodar níos óige- agus na difríochtaí a bhí ann i gcomparáid leis an saol inniu.
Bhain na páistí an-taitneamh as bheith ag éisteacht lena scéalta, agus gan dabht, bhí an-chuid ceisteanna acu dár gcuairteoirí.
As part of the programme towards attaining our Green Flag, we invited a number of grandparents to the school to speak to the classes about their lives when they were younger- and especially about the differences that existed compared to the lives of children today.
The children enjoyed very much listening to the stories , and had many questions for our “visitors”. A very enjoyable and informative day for all!
LÁ GNÍOMHAÍOCHTA _ DAY OF ACTION
Bhí Lá Gníomhaíochta againn sa scoil ar an Aoine , 1ú Márta agus bhíomar ag iarraidh cur ina luí ar phobal na scoile an tábhacht a bhaineann le laghdú a dhéanamh ar an méid fuinnimh a úsáidimid, agus an méid a bhrathaimid ar gach saghas fuinnimh sa saol inniu.
We read the meters in the morning and had a list of actions for each class and for the whole school. No whiteboards or computers on, no photocopying, less lights switched on in the class and ensuring the blinds were open to utilise natural daylight. Everyone had to wear something green for the day which was good fun and also most classes did a lesson on some aspect of Energy during the week. Finally, ewe read the meters in the afternoon and discovered that we used much less energy on that day!!
