The Eco Team 2009/10

Here are the enthusiastic Eco Team of 2009/10. They are a hard working team of children from Reception to Year Six who are always helping our school to become more environmentally friendly!

 

 

 

The Eco Team have have made many changes to our school. They meet at least once a week to discuss issues in our school and how we can tackle them.

 

This term we have been checking that all of the areas in school have reminder posters to save electricity and recycle paper whenever possible. We have also updated our Eco-Code so that every class in school contributed their ideas. These will be given out in an assembly soon!

 

The Eco-team have worked hard to introduce recycling into our school. We now recycle paper, tins, plastic, glass, fruit waste, ink cartridges and old mobile phones!

Recycling bags for paper in each homebase.	Containers for plastics and tins in the court yard	Fruit bins and protective clothing for composting.

 

 

The Eco Team work closely with the adults around school to make sure that everybody is helping to be more environmentally friendly. The Eco Team have also presented to the whole school during assembly time too.
