29th of March 2019 This is St Mary Magdalen's Catholic Primary School's blog about our journey to becoming a more eco-friendly school and working towards the Eco-schools Silver Award. We have been inspired to create this blog after the activities we participated in during waste week. These included using single-use plastics and other waste to make art,re-using scrap pieces of paper and a small group of volunteers went litter picking in the school grounds. We have seen and heard about how much damage we are doing to our world and we would like to make a difference to our world. In year 6, we have developed a no-light-Friday initiative and from April to October we already turn off our heating completely. Written by Lukas, Thomas and Shane

Now we have finished our waste survey at lunch time. The School Eco team are targeting recycling plastic which comes out of the lunch boxes. We have a small bin for any plastic from lunch boxes and we have given out leaflets to encourage recyclable bottles etc in the lunch box. We give out stickers too.

9 of our Year 3 children took part in another community litter pick. The children are now aware of the litter problem in our street and have flagged up the need for a litter pick. I took those children out to do it and they made a note on charts what we picked up. They will do graphs on what we find and we will look at them at the end of Summer term to see what information it gives us.
