Rang 5 Mícheál – Flossie and the Beach Cleaners

Bhaineamar sár-taitneamh as ár dturas go dtí Trá Baile Mhontáín an Luan seo caite. Bhí sé fuar agus gaofar ach níór stop an aimsir an spraoi! 

Bhí Harriet agus Kateryna an-dheas ar fad agus thaispeáin siad an bruscar a fhágann daoine ar an trá nóa thagann isteach ar an taoide. Bhí seans againn ansin an trá a ghlanadh agus do bhailíomar 8kg de plaisteach in uair amháin! An lá ina dhiadh, tháining siad chuig an scoil agus bhí deis againn snámh le turtar! Bhuel , bhí VR headset acu ach fós bhí sé taitneamhach. Beimid go léir níos cúramaí ar an trá lenár gcuid bruscar as seo amach!!

We had such a great day with Flossie and the Beach Cleaners on Monday last at Fountainstown Beach, despite the wind and cold! Harriet and Kateryna showed us lots of different types of rubbish collected from beaches or brought in on the tide, from toys to phones to underpants!!!

They then gave us the chance to clean the beach. We collected up to 8kg of plastic in 1 hour. 

The next day they came to the school and we got the chance to swim with a turtle, albeit through a VR headset. Still it was a cool experience. We will be much more careful with our rubbish at the beach from now on, thanks to Flossie. 

Congrats to Luca who won a Flossie beanie!
