Biodiversity Projects

3rd Feb 2022

In 6th Class we have been recently learning about problem solving and so we decided to try to help solve a real life problem at St George’s NS!

The problem we are trying to help solve is that not enough pupils in St George’s NS know about the importance of biodiversity. 

We took the results of our Green School Biodiversity Survey and used this data to inform our work. 

We thought percentages might be a bit abstract for younger pupils so we found a fun way to put this data in context in our videos :)

Our hope is that these videos will help all pupils at St George’s NS to understand:

  • What biodiversity is
  • Why biodiversity is important
  • To identify some threats to biodiversity
  • To identify some ways to help biodiversity
  • To identify some native Irish plants and animals 

We hope you enjoy our video projects and learn more about biodiversity!

Ms Ryan's 4th Class watched our videos and then retook the Green School Biodiversity Survey. Results were much improved. Well done Ms Ryan's 4th Class!! :)
