How big is your Eco Print?

We all scored quite low - which is good.
However there are things that we can do to make our footprint a little smaller.
What can you do?

SUKHMANI / MARYAM
Over the past month the Eco Committee has been busy discussing about lunchtime. We call it operation L.W.L (aka) less Waste Lunch. We have been discussing about what we like, and what we don’t like and had sent a questionnaire to all the classes on how to change the lunch hall. We thank you for all your ideas and opinions. We have come up with some slogans. There are other ideas that we come up with too.
SHIRLEY
If you have a packed lunch it’s best to bring a plastic container that can be washed rather than cling film or silver foil.
ROSA
If you’re a school dinner try and pick food that you like because quite a lot of food that is thrown out is food that people don’t like and don’t want to eat it.
RAYHAB
One class suggested dust pan and brushes for us to use. We thought this was a great idea.
DAISY
If you drop crumbs please use the dustpan and brush – they are in the green baskets.
NICOLE
Make sure you sweep the mess into the bins and no the storage basket.
TEIGHAN
We have made small posters which are on the tables to remind you to tidy up.
ZOFIA
This morning our wonderful Eco.Com made some great slogans. We will display them in the hall and on your class Eco wall.
DEAN
“KEEP THE TABLES SHINY EVEN THOUGH THE FORKS ARE TINY”
LEILA
“L.W.L IT’S A SWELL THING TO TELL!”
SAMIYA
“TIDY YOUR SEAT – SO IT’S NEAT TO EAT”
YAQEEN
“DON’T BE MEAN – KEEP OUR HALL CLEAN”
ALISHA
“KEEP IT NEAT DOWN AT YOUR FEET”
JASKARAN
“Thank you for listening. We hope our dinner hall is looking much better and neater than before.

Here is our recycled gift bags on sale at the winter fair!
We sold quite a lot but not as many as we had hoped.
We are not disappointed - each bag recycled and sold meant one less new bag not being bought .
Saves paper - saves trees.
Thank you to Ms Galloway and her team for all their efforts.
NOVEMBER 2012
To celebrate Queen Elizabeth's historic 2012 Diamond Jubilee, the Woodland Trust is helping millions of people across the UK to come together and plant 6 million trees. With HRH The Princess Royal as Patron, the Jubilee Woods project aims to create hundreds of Jubilee Woods and 60 special Diamond Woods, transforming our landscape in a generation and providing a lasting and meaningful tribute for many years to come.
To find out more information about the jubilee woods click here.
The first job for Eco.Com was to plant our Jubilee shrubs and trees. Thanks to Rhona and Pip ourhelpful Mums who came to help - and finished the job when we had to go back to class.
Click here to find more information about the Jubilee woods.
We also planted a specail tree.
Each sapling has been grown from an acorn gathered from a royal estate around the country, enabling you to enjoy your own lifelong memento of this historic moment.
INTRODUCING ECO.COM 2012
There were so many enthusiastic pupils wanting to join the Eco Committee, we are going to have two groups this year - meet the first group - and then in February you will meet some new faces!!
Gift bag recycling September 25th 2012
A group of children from Eco.Com are working with Ms Galloway to recycle gift bags. They hope to make other things to sell at the winter fair. If you have any old gift bags that we may be able to recycle please bring into school and give to Ms Galloway.
Meet the Eco committee 2011 -2012
