Eco Council
Our Eco Council is made up of 2 children from each year group who have been elected to the role through a class vote. We meet every other week, sometimes more often, and have many projects on the go!
This year we are working towards achieving Eco-Schools green flag status.
We have chosen to concentrate on 3 main areas;
-
Biodiversity
-
Energy use
-
Water
Please see our Action Plan below.
We have planted 15 new native trees to create a new habitat in our school grounds. Each class has a tree they are responsible for taking care of. We hope to add to this area by building a bug hotel.
We took part in Switch Off week where we asked the school to consciously use less electricity and have placed stickers near switches to remind children and staff to turn lights off when leaving the classroom.
With the help of Mr Appleby, we have installed a water butt to collect rainwater and the Eco Council will use this to water the plants in the courtyard area.
