Green Schools Programme in Firies National School

Firies National School is working on their next Green Flag with the theme of – Global Citizenship Travel. As part of this initiative, Angela Wall from Green School visited our school on Friday 23rd January. Angela met with our Green Schools committee. We carried out a Walkability Audit in the area surrounding the school near the regional road. The children were investigating the positive and negative areas and where we need to carry out work in order to make our school a safe environment for travelling to and from every day. We have a huge issue with parking so we are hoping we can receive assistance in order to alleviate this problem. Angela will visit us again on Tuesday 17th February with the findings of this survey.

Green Schools Committee

Our wonderful Green Schools Committee

Curriculum Work

Whatever theme is being worked on, all classes must show they have linked the theme into their Curriculum work. Look at some of our fabulous pictures.

Green Code

With every theme that is being worked on by a school, they must also develop a slogan/a saying that goes with the theme. Our Green Code for 'Marine Environment' was developed by Niamh Ferris.
