Eco Committee
Today Peter from 'Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful' came in to talk to the P7s all about the importance of recycling - they were checking to see how well the staff were disposing of their rubbish!
A big thank you to everyone who donated clothing for the 'Cash for Clobber' collection. All of the donated bags were collected this afternoon and the Eco committee are really looking forward to using whatever cash we have made to help make our school even greener.
Meet the Eco Committee for 2023/24. This year's slogan is - 'Keep yourself clean and keep Groggan green!' - created by a member and approved by the committee.
Thank you to all our families who donated old clothes to be collected today by Cookstown Textiles. Eco Committee helped load up the van today for weighing. We will keep you posted on how much money we have raised.
Primary 1/2 had a visitor from RSPB called Jo to speak to them about our local birds. We found out what they looked like, sounded like and even got to go outside using binoculars to look for them. We spotted a Robin who sang for us and a Blue Tit high up in the trees. How exciting! Families can take part in the RSPB Big Bird Watch and register what birds they have seen in their gardens online.
