Today we have been getting the land ready for winter but we have also been planting some vegetables that will grow during the colder months!

Well, its a new year and a brand new excellent team of Eco-Councillors!

This year, Eco-Council have decided to tackle the topics of ‘Energy’ and ‘Water’. The aim is reduce our use of both of these, so that we can save money and the planet!

Eco-Council will be watching very closely on how we are wasting energy and water, and will be formulating a plan of action very soon!

In the meantime, the advice to all children and adults  comes from our Eco-Code. It is very simple. ..

TURN OFF!

We are at the beginning of a new academic year and the position of eco-councillor for the entire year is up for grabs! One child per class from Y2 – Y6 will meet to discuss eco-related issues around school, and hopefully to make our school a greener, better place for all!
