As part of our commitment to Global Goal 11: target 11.6- to reduce environmental impact of cities including waste management; our Eco Committee’s targets and improving the environment around as as part of the John Muir Trust Award we went out into the local area to litter pick and filled up lots of rubbish bags.

p6/7 Money sense workshop
P6/7 had a great opportunity to work with Olivia McGregor from The Royal Bank of Scotland and participate in a Moneysense workshop linked to Natwest. The theme was ‘Save your pennies, save our planet.’ The children identified sources of energy in the home and calculated the cost of running appliances. One of the most surprising one was hair straighteners at 28p per hour and a shower at £1.30 per hour compared with a washing machine at 30p an hour or a computer at 2p per hour.
The children made links to Global Goal 13: Climate Action and identified ways in which they could save energy and money in our homes.
