We have now achieved our 2nd Fairtrade award and we are a FairActive school. Well done to all children involved in this!

The Big Pedal Event
On Friday 29th April the whole school took part in The Big Pedal Event where children were encouraged to cycle or scooter to school. We had such a fantastic response that we ran out of room in the bike locker! The winning class was p3m with 89% of the class cycling or scootering to school. They have won an extra gym session with Miss Sheridan with activities of their choice.
Eco Update
Litter continues to be an issue in our school particularly when it is windy. Eco reps visited classes last week to remind them of the importance of keeping our playgrounds tidy. P3 are in charge of litter picking in the infants playground and are up and running with a litter rota.
We will be taking part in the “Wrigley’s Litter Less” campaign and have been discussing what initiatives we could undertake for this challenge. We are keen to source a new bin for the middle and upper playground. Watch this space for updates.
Eco Update
Welcome to our Eco Blog.
A new Eco committee has been elected for 2015/2016. We have decided to tackle litter as our first action. New litter rotas are in place for both playgrounds where each day P3 and P4 will monitor the amount of litter in each playground. They will award either green, amber or red status depending on how many pieces of litter they have collected. We are aiming for each playground to be green each day to earn an extra playtime.
