On the 10th of February the Rediscovery Centre from Ballymun, Dublin, paid a visit to the two senior rooms to give workshops to the students. The students in Mr Byrnes room participated in a workshop based on Plastic Problems and Ms. Dagg’s room participated in a workshop based on transport for the future.
The workshops were very informative and interesting and helped the children learn more about this year’s Greenschool’s theme of Energy and Global Citizenship.
