VIDEO PROJECT ON LITTER

  Mrs. Teresa McCrohan, a first class teacher in St. Joseph's G.N.S. entered the school in the Anti-Litter competition. 

The school came first and here are some comments from two girls from Sixth class and two girls from Second class.

Mrs. T. McCrohan entered our school “ST. JOSEPH’S G.N.S” for the Anti-Litter Competition, and thankfully we came first.  On winning this project we, the fifth class girls produced a video about litter and the environment.  Mrs. T. McCrohan rehearsed with us many times.  It was exciting waiting for the video man to come and shot the scenes.  One of the scenes, a picnic scene, was shoot in Emo Court.  Here we had two picnic scenes as follows:

  P                                     The right way to picnic!!

P                                     The wrong way to picnic!!

 

The girls that left all the litter behind showed us that we are really harming our environment.

      We had a protest about litter outside our school.  We had placards with slogans such as:

 

P                                     STOP THE DROP

P                                     GO GREEN NOW

P                                     PUT IT IN THE BIN

P                                     GET FITTER WITH LITTER

  We also had a reporter who interviewed us and we explained the aim of our project to him.  It was all very exciting and we also had our photograph taken for the local newspaper.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself and felt that I learned something about our environment and how litter destroys it.

Its fun doing the Litter video.  I like doing the Sherlock Holmes bit.  I have a magnifying glass in my hand.  I check people’s hands to see which girl is the litter bug.  Aileen is the litter bug in our class.

In the litter show I show people my model.  It is a model of the Titanic.  I made it myself.  First I got the lid of a shoebox and then I got a butter tub and turned it upside down.  I covered all of it with craft paper.  I then got two cylinders and made chimneys.  I drew some people and stuck them in.  I drew an anchor and also stuck it on.  I put a flag on top.  The Titanic sank in the middle of the ocean and a lot of people died, only a few were saved.

I showed my mode of the Killeshin Hotel.  I made it myself with boxes from our ART BANK.  First I got a cornflakes box and I turned it inside out then I opened the top to make a roof.  I then got 2 cylinders and then I put craft paper over them and they made the porch.  I also drew windows on the front and on the back of it to make it look like it had lots and lots of rooms.  The Killeshin Hotel is in Portlaoise.  I was in the Killeshin Hotel for my sisters confirmation.
