We've been looking at butterflies around Tramore for homework - we've found out that the small tortoise was the most common. Of the seven types we were looking for, the Peacock was the rarest. @BioDataCentre @BioInSchools

@Learnit_Ireland We fancy doing some programming with Lego - would you have any recommendations of kit we should buy and where we might source it?

[Rang 3, Glór na Mara @blognamara]

Mucking around with some digital tools ahead of the new school year. Good fun to be had!

Looking forward to welcoming our past pupil and now MEP, @GraceOSllvn, to our school tomorrow to celebrate what's been an outstanding year in Glór na Mara. Doing a bit of writing about this lady's amazing life at the moment.....

[Grace O'Sullivan @GraceOSllvn]

My story is action-packed and involves arrest, the French Secret Service, a bomb, nuclear warships, harpoons, deportation and more. Please watch and share. It's why I'm running in #EP2019 I'm standing for @greenparty_ie in #IrelandSouth because the Green fight continues. Join me

Glór Na Mara Walking Bus was a huge success this morning. Thanks to teachers, parents & pupils for the wonderful turn out! What a great way to start the day! @Gnmgreenteam @MsHearne4th @blognamara @GreenFlag_5

[GlórnamaraGreenTeam @Gnmgreenteam]

Beautiful morning for @MsBrittonGNM's and @GreenSchoolsIre walking bus. Great way to support @MsHearne4th's class as they inspire and educate the community on #GlobalGoals and campaign to #LeaveNoOneBehind.

Would you rather cycle to work in glorious sunshine or sit in stinky traffic? @Cyclistie @Love30ie @IBIKEDublin

Made it through our @SpaceWeekIRL Earth and Moon modelling with sanity (mostly) intact. Waiting for them to dry before painting and then working out our orbital distance....

@cosaingalway Thanks. Might be a bit beyond my class level, but a straightforward enough idea. And the stretch of road we were working on is def. a spot where speeding happens. Writing to the council for a speed sign might be an idea, tho.....

Did you see us out and about in #Tramore? We were recording data about car movements on the Ring Rd. We'll be number crunching and preparing graphs from our data tomorrow. #ActiveMaths #Maths #Data

[Rang 3, Glór na Mara @blognamara]

@cosaingalway @RSAIreland @Cyclistie Thanks ��� We looked at cars only - it was a maths lesson as opposed to a mobility lesson. The urban design brainwashing unit happens later in the year 😉🚶‍♀️🚴‍♀️

[Rang 3, Glór na Mara @blognamara]

And a few bits and pieces that wouldn't please @RSAIreland @Cyclistie @cosaingalway - lots of people using their mobile phones (on a roadabout, with 20+ schoolchildren standing nearby). We were surprised by the number of single drivers (average occupancy was 1.64).

[Rang 3, Glór na Mara @blognamara]

Some of data has been crunched - some interesting information waiting to be gleaned....

[Rang 3, Glór na Mara @blognamara]

Went running and *thinking* earlier - always a dangerous combo. Feeling a 'scheme' coming on..... 🤔

[Tramore Eco Group @TramoreEcoGroup]

We had been invited along to Glor na Mara Primary School this morning to judge an environmental themed art competition, with the children of Ms. Britton's 4th class joined by Ms. Hearne's 4th class had researched... https://t.co/4rBKPfAjjD

I think this picture, of teen #climate campaigner ⁦@GretaThunberg⁩ standing in front of a coal-fired power plant, may come to be seen as one of the most iconic images of 2018
