Energy Workshop in Athlone

The pupils in 5th and 6th class visited the Radisson Blu Hotel in Athlone last week to take part in a Green Schools workshop on the theme of energy. This workshop was facilitated by An Taisce and hosted by Rob and Aiden. They gave us a lot of information about energy - the different types of energy, renewable and non-revewable forms of energy and how we can reduce the amount of energy we consume. The pupils took part in a range of activities and experiments including playing instruments, 'Design Your Perfect Energy School', science experiments, scavanger hunt and making a light bulb energy pledge. We look forward to putting all this knowledge to good use over the coming months as we work to achieve our Global Citizenship: Energy Green Flag.
