Eco Action Team and 'The Great Big School Clean'

Lesson: Learning Outside the Classroom

Class: Whole School Gallery Items Year: 2021 - 2022

A HUGE thank you to the wonderful Eco Action Team who stayed behind after school last night to discuss our action plan and to take part in the 'Great BIg School Clean'.

Our first job was to discuss our action plan. The projects on there are:

1) To reduce the amount of litter in our school community.

2) To improve how much we reduce/reuse and recycle.

3) To improve our health and wellbeing.

4) To reduce our school's energy bills.

5) To improve the outdoor learning provision. 

We agreed that we would work on projects 1 and 5 this next half term. How we will do this:

1) LITTER: Carry out a litter pick around the school grounds tonight and then one in the local area next half term. We will organise a poster competition to encourage everyone to keep our community tidy.

5) SCHOOL GROUNDS: Nurture the trees we planted last year; plant seeds to grow our own fruit and vegetables (strawberries, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes) and use these to make something with. Keep the environment nice for Forest Schools by weeding the planters and picking up litter.. Develop outside art work in Arts Week in the Summer Term. 

We started our work on Project 1 tonight - as part of the 'Great Big School Clean', we pledged to collect two bags of litter from around school. We achieved our goal!!

Take a look at the photographs of our beautiful environment - the planters we filled last year are now blooming!
