The sun is shining and the birds are singing! Time to grab your spade, trowel and camera and get out and celebrate International Biodiversity Day!
Bioodiversity is our green schools theme so we want to make a special effort to mark this day at St. Brigids school. The Green schools committee along with parents, students and members of their families will plant a new vegetable and flower garden. There will be a vegetable patch, a flower patch as well as a native Irish wildflower patch. We have plants to put down and seeds to sew.
Keep an eye out for new bird boxes, bird feeders, a butterfly house and a bee home. We will also relocate our bird feeding station that had to be taken down due to building work and we will set up a new log pile and a mini-beast hotel.
All this great work is bound to increase the biodiversity in our school grounds. So get out there and have fun checking it out!
I like your picture.
Is it a strawberry?
We grow them at home.
They are tasty.
The birds like to eat them too.
Yes Jack you are correct. It’s a wild strawberry and we planted some of them today in the garden. Have a look when you get the chance.
Well done to everyone who helped out today with our action day!
We had super weather for it and we managed to get everything done.
The birds, bees, butterflies and all the mini-beasts will be delighted with all your hard work.
Thank you!
Watch this space for photos which will follow soon.
Well we are just in from Little Break and we saw Big Changes in the yard. Fiona saw the bee house hanging from the branch of a tree in the back alley. Lewis saw a bird box. Tom saw bird feeders. Nicole and JC saw the butterfly house. Niamh saw the plants that Julia and Zac planted. Julia explained that the big tall ones are raspberry and the small ones are strawberries. Yummy. We can’t wait for them to grow. Thanks to Fiona and the Green Schools Committee for all their hard work.
