A big congratulations to Kyle and Kacie from P5 who won first place in the CRNS ‘What’s the Next Big Idea?’ competition. The children had to create a new idea that would encourage people in Scotland to recycle. Kyle and Kacie’s Climate Change entry was about reducing packaging, namely bottles of toiletries and household products, by encouraging supermarkets to install refill stations within their stores whereby consumers could top up their bottles with supermarket brand products.
The children have been invited to present their idea ta the Scottish Parliament on the 6th November and will receive £500 for the school.
Jody McKay, also P5, received a special mention for his idea of reducing the amount of disposable coffee cups being used daily by discounting drinks that were served in a customer’s own cup.
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all the children who took part across P5, P6 and P7. All ideas were very creative and some are now being considered for the school by the pupil council.
