Earlier this year, Primary 5 were the winners in our Eco Competition to win the highest\u00a0 house points, for carrying out Eco Actions throughout the year. There was stiff competition, especially from the infant department who kept their playground free of litter through their litter picking efforts and the points totals were close.<\/p>\n

As a result, Primary 5 were taken to Prestwick Beach for the day. In addition to having fun splashing in the waves, they undertook a beach litter survey. At first glance, there didn’t appear to be very much litter on the beach, but by the end of the day, after weighing the bags they filled, they found they had removed 8 Kg of litter from the sand. This litter would have proved deadly to marine creatures if swept out to sea, or to\u00a0 birds, who could mistake it for food and the children were proud that they could have saved these animals.\u00a0 Here are some of the photos of their day at the beach.<\/p>\n
