Once again 5th class have worked on the Ringo Project. During
this project, the children source and collect ring carriers. The ring carriers
are then returned to the factory to be recycled. Each week we project how many
ring carriers will be collected, then we compare our projections to the actual
amount collected.
Here is our progress to date.

We also made interesting discoveries about how plastic is made, how it
is a good insulator and how we can reduce plastic packaging. The Project
co-ordinator, Eanna Ni Lamhna visited the class to encourage our progress.
