The
PEACE IV Programme is a unique initiative of the European Union which has been
designed to support peace and reconciliation. It is a cross border project
involving shared education initiatives and projects that will build positive
relations with people from different communities and backgrounds.
Our
partner school is Ballaghameehan NS, Rossinver.
This
year, we are working alongside Rossinver Organic Centre to plant more trees. Our
aim is to support biodiversity by planting more deciduous trees.
On
our first visit, the children planned, measured out and marked the spot for
each tree to be planted. They created a map of the area and identified trees
already growing. They also saw the Ballagh River and discussed the lifecycle of
salmon.
On
our next visit, each pupil will plant a tree. They will be encouraged to visit
the Organic Centre with their families and observe their tree as is grows.
We
love learning outdoors!
