Welcome to the ECO team 2023-2024

This year we are working towards becoming an ECO school. To do this we have to carry out three projects over the course of the year. 

We carried out a review across the school to find out what we already do well at, and what areas we need to work on in order to protect our planet. From this review we were able to consider some environmental changes that we could make in our school and also our everyday lives. 

The first project highlighted for us to work on from our review was ENERGY.

So we have set about thinking: How can we reduce the amount of energy that we use in school and at home?

Our aims are:
To become more aware of how much energy is being used during the school day.

To become more energy efficient.

To share energy saving tips with the community so that our project has an impact.
 

What are we up to this term?

The Big Plastic Count

This term the whole school has got behind The Big Plastic Count. We had to count the plastics that we used at home and record the amount on a tally sheet. We had to then input our data to work out our class and school footprint. The count was organised by Greenpeace to make everyone more aware of the huge amount of plastic packaging that we all use.

Molly decided to write a letter as she wanted to make the community more aware of the issue. She is going to ask local shops if they will display letter. We are so proud of Molly for using her voice to make other people aware.
