Eco Warriors

 

Meet our latest team of

Eco Warriors.

 

Below are the representatives for each class.

The pupils are involved in looking at environmental issues and how our school can play it's part in helping to save the planet.  The team get involved in recycling issues and have regular meetings to discuss new ideas and initiatives.

Pen Recycling Scheme

 

We have kicked off the year with a new recycling scheme, developed by Terracycle. This scheme allows us to collect and recycle writing instruments. The Eco Warriors have created containers for pens to be collected in within the classrooms, and then they are responsible for them to be emptied into the main collection point. 

 

We have also invited local first schools and parents/carers to join in with this scheme, because the more we recycle, the more we can do for the planet. So the Eco Warriors are encouraging you to use a recycled container to collect old pens in at home and your work place, and then to drop the pens off to our main collection point.

Bin Design Competition

 

Last year, the Eco Warrior team held a competition to design a poster for a new bin, which was to be placed outside the front of school. Maisy in Year 2 won the competition, and in October the bin arrived. The current Eco Warriors placed the bin in a prime position at the front of school, and are hopeful that this will reduce the amount of litter found outside of school. Congratulations to Maisy and well done to the current, and previous, Eco Warriors for making this happen.

 

Tree Planting

 

We are also planning to plant more trees on the forest school site, as this is important for the environment and for development of the site. We are hoping to do this before winter, so watch this space for more information.
