On Wednesday 16th March, the Garlinge Eco Reps investigated which invertebrates were in our soil. We split up into two groups and explored two different areas around the school. Overall, this is what we found: 13 worms 2 millipedes 1 spider 1 grub We discussed why we might have uncovered fewer invertebrates in our soil during this dig compared to our October dig. Our reps thought it might be due to the fact that we are just coming out of winter and all the invertebrates are not active at the moment. We really enjoyed delving into the soil beneath our feet and we hope that our findings are useful to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). We look forward to the next part of the campaign which will take place in June and are curious to see what other differences in the amount / types of invertebrates we will uncover...
We have started to collect unwanted/broken toys as part of our toy amnesty. Anything with a plug,usb or batteries will be collected and then sent for recycling.

We recieved our recycle to read boxes just before half term. Our families are already so excited to get recycling and donating. Our Eco team will be launching Recycle to Read and Switch off fortnight on our return to school next week.
For our Harvest Festival .which the Mayor came to today, our budding gardeners have donated some of thier harvest from our gardens. Later we will be selling the produce to gain more money for gardening projects later in the year. Like willow huts.
On Friday 30th September 2021 our Eco Warriors did their first community litter pick with Ashley Roscoe Environmental Projects Co-Ordinator Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council. they did so well a neighbour in the street outside the school donated a large tub of Roses for them to share with each other.
We are starting our Eco Warriors off this year with a recycling experience fromTerracycle. We are recycling all crisp packets and hopefully gaining points which we can then exchange for money towards our gardening.
On Monday 27th September our children will be encouraged to cycle or scoot to school. The scheme is being supported by SUSTRANS. Please see the link below. We will add some photos next week. I am hoping the weather will be fine, this initiative will reduce air pollution, help us to get active and show how much we care about our local environment in Crosby.
