Just before the Christmas holidays some of the pupils helped plant willow saplings to create a living tunnel and dome. It is still going strong and pupils are looking forward to using it soon.

The Eco Committee were delighted on Friday to see the logs for the Friendship Circle/outdoor learning area being delivered.

We have now asked each class to think of themes to decorate the end of the logs.  P7 are going to work on designs to remember Ms Morrison and Ms Smith.  At our next Eco meeting on Thursday we will look at the suggestions.  Then, next week during Eco week, each pupil will be asked to create a design for the friendship logs and the winners will be used.

We would like to thank Stephen and his team for their time and hard work.

We have had 2 Eco Committee meetings since the last post.

Our news:

We are hoping to start our work on our “Take Action!” project as we start working towards the next Green Flag. So, during Eco/Science week, we are hoping to do a whole school collection for a local food bank, showing that we care about people in our Community.

We have all made sure our classes are aware of the change on the Eco jobs rota.

Our Friendship Stop and Story Circle should be constructed this month and we are going to ask pupils during Eco/Science week to do some design work – watch this space!

Yana and Aqsa have written to Natalie from Vattenfall about the Story Circle.

In May, we have planned a whole school community litter pick.  Some committee members are going to write a letter to involve a local business in our litter pick.

March 2017

Welcome to the new Eco Committee blog.  We will be keeping you up to date with the work of the committee here.

2016/17 got off to a flying start as we were awarded our 4th Green flag!

If you would like to see what we did last term, please have a look at the December post on the P6 blog where we were planting and constructing our new Willow structures.

January 2017 has got off to a very exciting start! Last term we started thinking about some improvements we could make to our playground.  Following a presentation at assemblies about caring for our wildlife garden, we have also decided that we would benefit from a quiet area/outdoor classroom area. Through a survey, we asked every class for their ideas.

Last Thursday  Stephen Bly (Community Engagement Officer from Aberdeen City Council) came to meet with us and some reps from the Pupil Council and we have identified an area which would be suitable.  Stephen also helped us with lots of ideas about how to construct and decorate the seating.  Natalie Ghazi from Vattenfall also came along as we are working in partnership with this turbine offshore company.

Watch this space to see how this project develops and also how we are working towards our 5th Green Flag.
