School Council / Climate Crew
Two children from Years 1 - 6 represent their class on the School Council. An active group of young children led by Miss Banner. The children meet regularly to discuss their class ideas on how they feel school can be improved. They discuss many projects and have been fundamental to the development of the school environment particularly the school grounds. They also organise many charity events throughout the year.
Our School Council
What are we doing currently
We are working towards the eco school green flag. The three areas that we are working on are:
WASTE:
We had a successful green day in October. Everyone wore green, we turned the heating down, turned the lights off and electrical items when we could and took part in environmental activities.
We are currently taking part in the big battery hunt.
We are planning to do a book swap on world book day.
We will be going on a trip to the recycling centre in the summer.
We have light and interactive whiteboard monitors in each class.
The kitchen offer some of the children more food when they have finished inste of it going to waste.
MARINE:
Every weekend a different year group can borrow the litter pickers to use.
Last year we achieved our green blue peter badges by making pledges to help the environment.
We are encouraging everyone to ban single use plastic and reuse what they can. Think about the plastic pollution and the devastating effects that it has on the sea animals.
TRANSPORT:
On the first Friday of every month we have funky feet Friday! The children can wear their trainers and walk to school.
We have a walk to school week planned for the end of every half term. The children can walk to school or park further away and walk. They will receive a stamp and receive a prize if they get 5!
