Eco Council

Members of school council have become member of our Eco Committee.

For nearly 25 years Eco-Schools has been empowering children to drive change and improve their environmental awareness through the simple Seven-Step framework in order to achieve the international Eco-Schools Green Flag award.

Eco-Schools develops pupils’ skills, raises environmental awareness, improves the school environment and creates financial savings for schools as well as a whole host of other benefits.

We have held a few meetings and are working towards our bronze award.

More information about our plans are below.

Monday 21st January

School Council had their first meeting of 2019 today. We discussed our focus for this half term. We are going to be looking at how we can make our school more environmentally friendly and reduce the amount of plastic that we use.

We read some articles and watched some videos to find out information ready to share with our classes this week. Watch this space over the coming weeks for what we do next! In the meantime, have a look at this video about how plastic is causing problems in our environment.

Friday 16th November 2018 - Children in Need

Just to day a huge thank you for all the pennies, teddies and entries for the Pudsey competition. Although we have not yet counted all the money, I am sure that the children have helped raise a great amount for Children in Need. The winners of the teddy and Pudsey competition will be announced in assembly on Monday and all children have been given a certificate to say thank you for their efforts.
The Pudsey competition was a great success with over 120 entries and 33 correct ones. We hope you enjoyed guessing who the 'Pudseys' were. We know that some were easier than others!
The dress the teddy competition was extremely hard to judge as there were so many excellent outfits. Thank you to everyone for making the fundraising this year such a success.

Children in Need 2018

School Council have been busy over the last week thinking of ideas to raise money for Children in Need. This year they have decided on the following ideas:

Bring your teddy to school day. Competition and prize for the best dressed Teddy.
Penny Pudsey - bring in your 1p an 2p coins to create a large Pudsey bear
Guess the Pudsey competition - guess the members of staff who are hiding behind Pudsey
School Council will be selling wristbands after school from Monday 12th November
