Community Clean up

Well we have done the 2nd of our community litter picks. So proud of the Eco and Council children for their amazing effort in cleaning the street our school is in. Next one planned for the Summer but next is the big clean up of our own school grounds ready for outside learning and activities.

Volunteering at the Food Bank

Year 7 and 8 children got in touch with our local Food Bank to see if we could go and help out! So we went to volunteer sorting the food at the food bank for a morning. We took our harvest festival donations over and then learned about the work the food bank does whilst helping to ensure no food was wasted and that everything was packaged correctly to make the most of the donations. We worked hard and were tired out by the time we got back to school bt it was worth it, we were very proud of ourselves and we recieved a hearty thanks and invite to go to help again!

Homeless Project

Our Year 7 and 8 children decided they would like to help the homeless over Christmas. every child helped to make some mince pies for the homeless. We also made bird boxes and sold them at our Christmas fayre to raise money for the local charity. We raised £40! We collected warm socks, jumpers and sleeping bags to support homeless people. All these things were delivered just before Christmas.

paper straws

The whole of year 3 have written to our dinnertime manager about changing plastic straws for paper ones...and they have changed to paper ones. Also The Eco Warriors have discussed with the pupils likes and dislikes on the school menu and with the lunch box pupils if they would recycle the waste. As a result the manager has taken on board and is sourcing condiments for the tables. The lunch box pupils are going to trial recycling their waste.

First Litter pick

Here we are first litter pick of the new year. 8 children were involved in a litter pick around our school...their bags were full of plastic pieces, paper,cartons and sweet wrappers. They used a clip board and noted what litter, where it was found and how much. Next they will be creating a litter graph. We will then do another litter pick in 2 weeks time. By charting this we hope to see where it is all coming from then they will make posters for around the school grounds.
