The winning entry from Gaelscoil na Laochra
Pupils from Gaelscoil na Laochra in Birr were recently victorious in the competition "Found on the Ground" run by MEP Grace O'Sullivan.
The objective was to challenge pupils in Ireland to create a piece of art using only waste materials from home or school.
Pupils from Gaelscoil na Laochra created a piece named "An Páirc Spraoi", inspired by the wonderful playground in Birr Castle. They recreated the playground including the treehouse!
The prize the pupils will receive is a school tour. They are delighted to be recognised for their efforts.
The school was awarded their second green flag last Summer and are working towards their third.
