Earth Day 2023
On the 21st of April we had a non uniform day to celebrate Earth Day. The children were encouraged to come to school wearing blue or green. Blue represents the ocean and green represents the environment.
Our Eco Guardians planned a whole school assembly that was dedicated to the awareness of how we should be looking after God's wonderful world. We spoke about enviromental changes and how we can make a pledge to save our planet. Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. Every little action helps.

Congratulations to the winners of the Christmas Crafty Bag 2022 prize draw.
Christmas Crafty Bags 2022
As part of our Eco initiative, we used up left over materials from the art cupboard and old displays. We decided to make crafty bags and sell them throughout the school and at our Christmas Fair.
We made posters to promote our Eco project and had a Crafty Bag production line running at dinnertimes.
The children brought in some of their crafty bag creations that they had made and were entered into a prize draw. What fun !
Thank you to all those who supported our project!
We raised £80.80 of which we will purchase more litter pickers and bulbs for the garden.

Upcycled Altar
As part of our recycling initiative we have created an altar for our worship assemblies. Our Eco Guardians worked together to upcycle a piece of old furniture which would have been on its way to the skip! They recovered the damaged front and made a cross for the centre and decorated the rest of it. Our school Chaplain made a lectern cover from some unused material. Rev. Mark very kindly blessed our upcycled altar with the children.

Eco and School Council Shared Initiatives - Awards for All
We were granted 'Awards for All' funding after work done by the school council and staff concerned with our School Travel Plan. Our school grounds are also coming along really well, with new areas for everyone to enjoy. Play areas as well as seating areas are all well used. Our Willow Arbour is growing well now. We have lots of new plants chosen from Pimbo Nurseries as well as a vegetable patch to take care of. Our scarecrow is also coming along well and a maze is being planned with the school council.

Some of the things we do regularly and have discussed at meetings are:
* Each class have Eco-Guardians to look after their classroom and meet every 2 weeks to discuss plans.
* Litter and electricity wastage is looked after by all pupils - but checked by the Eco-Guardians
* The teaching staff also meet to discuss plans for the school.
* After an audit of the school last year we found water wastage could be improved - new pressure taps were installed along with a new mains supply to the school.
* A quiet area behind the garage is planned
* An Eco display board is in the entrance.
* A poster and rap competition was arranged.
We have big plans for our outdoor school environment.
Details of environmental activities being carried out can be seen on our noticeboard.
The school lets parents know of action being undertaken by regular newsletters and on our web site.
