At Southend Primary School and ELCC we have been awarded our 3rd green flag! Our Eco Group have been monitoring litter in the playground, improving both playground areas by introducing a pond, wild flower area and grass for outdoor studies. The Pavillion has had recycled bottles put into the windows to reduce the draught. The Wendy House, Pavillion, benches and gardening boxes have all been repainted and we had fun measuring and marking games on the playground.

A group of children continue to be involved in recycling and Rag Bag collection. This has all added to our health and wellbeing within the school. For our next project we want to improve our wormery and compost area and look forward to planting our raised beds with flowers and vegetables.
