Our current Eco Warriors, representing each class.
The Eco Warriors will issue minutes from their meetings both on the website and their Eco board near the Year 3 Classroom.
Energy Saving Posters
In the Autumn Term we held an Environmental Review of our school, and this helped feed ideas into our action plan. One of the issues highlighted was that, although we have posters reminding people to turn lights off when they are not in use, sometimes desktop monitors are still left on. To reduce the amount of energy wasted, we decided to make posters reminding people to turn them off.
These posters are going to go into classrooms, and they will be uploaded here soon.
Bin Design Competition
Through discussion at one of our meetings, it was highlighted by the children that there can be litter outside the front of school. It was decided that this may be due to the fact that children have snacks after school and there is nowhere for them to put their rubbish.
Following this we decided to start looking into getting a bin, and after looking through designs we went with a bin that could have a picture on the front. This then led to the Eco Warriors holding a whole school competition for children to enter their own bin designs.
Here are some of the designs entered:
The tree planting took place on a sunny but bitterly cold day. All of the Eco Warriors didn't let the weather deter them from working hard and planting 30 trees. Thank you too for the help given by one of our Governors, Mr Wood our Headteacher Mr Satchwell, Mrs Vipond and our school gardener.
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 monitor the use of electricity around the school during lunch times, ensuring we are not wasting energy. They get involved in recycling issues and have regular meetings to discuss new ideas and initiatives.
We are very proud to announce that we are the first school in Worcestershire to
introduce "Andigestion" to our
recycling projects. Any food from lunch time is collected by our
Eco Warriors and taken away by Andigestion, using their wheelie bin service.
It is then used to create energy by the company. .
