Green School Asessment

By Redser

Bernadette came today from the South Tipperary County Council to examine us to see if we are good enough to get the green flag. The green flag is given to schools that keep their schools clean and tidy and Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We will know in 2 or 3 weeks time if we were successful. Bernadette asked us lots of questions about what we have done to earn the Green Flag. We explained that we set up a green schools committee which the whole school is a member of. We have a meeting every week and we see what we are doing and what we can do to make our school even greener. Every day after each school break one person from each senior class do a litter run. We do lots in the school. We recycle glass, cardboard, mobiles, ringos, cans and we bring clothes for orphanages in Africa. We also shred paper for the puppies in PAWS, which is an animal rescue centre near Mullinahone. We have a vegtable garden and we planted 750 daffodils this year. We have done a lot of hard work and think we deserve a green flag. The Green School Flag Award Ceremony will be held in Cork the end of May and we hope to be there!!

This is our Green School Code which was wrote by Batman:

I wish we were a Green School, with our flag flying so high.
It would be cool to see it touch the clear blue sky.
I hope that people do not litter,
'cause if they do, they are bitter.
Come on Kilvemnon, we all rule.
Go us, go school!!!

Charlie
Charlie is a nice kind of person . He is not a very good dresser. He wears a top too small for him. His mother and father are poor but they might own the chocolate factory. He does what he is told and when things get out of hands he is calm and cool.

Grandma Georgina.
Grandma Georgina is very rude and has an answer for everything. She is also greedy. When she got tablets to make her younger she took too many and disappeared. But everybody still loves her and she is a great part of the book.

Vermicous Knids.
The Vermicous Knids are worm-like things that can squish their body into anything. They are show-offs. But they are really cool. I still dont like the Vermicous Knids!

Wonka-Vite.
Wonka-Vite is a tablet that makes you younger by twenty years. Grandma Georgina took too many and ended up in minus land and they had to give her vite-wonka to cure her.

The Witches of Slievenamon.

Last Year we made a film called The Witches of Slievenamon. We got the idea from the story by Lady Jane Wilde who is the mother of Oscar Wilde. We changed the story, by all of us writing our own story on 'The Witches of Slievenamon'. After that we took pieces from different stories and put them all into one big story. We were writing the script for a play that we were doing and then decided to make it into a film. The film that we did is about a woman called Siobhan and her 3 children who were haunted by witches and a spirit from their well tells Siobhan what to do to get rid of those awful witches. It took us two days to film it. First we went to Croc an Óir to film everything that happened in the house. The night after we went to the Spout that is near Slievenamon in Ballydavid near Mullinahone, to film the spirit in the well and Siobhan talking to him. Our school is situated on the foot of Slievenamon, so thats why we picked this story because it would be easy to get to the places. Then after the Spout we went to Carraigmoclear hill to film the forest scences. It was about 10pm that we got home at. We had 2 cameras filming at 2 different angles and at the end of it all, the editors used an I Mac Laptop and I Movie to edit all the scences and get the best pieces and put them together. It took 3 weeks to edit the whole film and we added distortions and sound effects. We all had a great time filming. My favourite part was being at Carraigmoclear in the trees and having a great laugh.
