The Eco committee are going to meet to decide how to celebrate our achievement and when we will be hanging our flag in the playground! Check back here for updates!

The Eco Committee have been hard at work each week emptying the recycling bins with the help of Mrs Scroggie. They have also been encouraging us to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Our Eco Committee donned their yellow vests and their litter pickers and carried out a clean up of the school grounds as part of the ‘Litter Less’ campaign. We hope that you will agree that the school looks much better after their hard work and we will all work hard to keep it clean. Out Little Litter Pickers have also been working hard every lunch time to keep our playground tidy. Well done boys and girls!

As part of our school Summer Fete, we ran a competition to design an eco bag. The winning bag was then produced and sold at the fete. The winning design was chosen by Mrs Di Nardo and the Eco Committee and it was very popular at the summer fete.

Our Primary 3’s planted strawberries and sunflowers in their raised bed in June this year. Well done for all of your hard work, they looked amazing!

Members of our Eco Committee represented the school at a Eco School’s Cluster meeting in February. They spent the morning at Redburn Primary where the children worked together to make bird feeders and to share their experiences.

In addition to the Eco Update Newsletter posted below we have some other developments in the Eco Committee this term!

• The P6’s have finished training our new P5 Litter Squad so there is a new P5 Litter Squad Rota being put in place this month. They are all very eager and are doing a great job!
• The last Rag Bag collection raised over £200 and we have received a £50 cheque from Grayshill Ltd. to help with our school garden fund.
• The committee are busy planning what we are going to do for EARTH HOUR 2015. They hope to take an assembly and involve everyone in some fun activities on Friday 13th March.
• The P6’s in Miss Mercer’s class have also been working closely with the Eco team as they have planted and are now monitoring the growth of some spring bulbs. This is part of a national “Edina Trust” Science Project. Mrs Gow has been working with a group of children measuring any growth.
• Two pupils from the committee will be representing Eastfield in an Eco Group which starts on Friday morning in Redburn Primary.

A huge thank you to Mr Stewart and Mr Gilchrist for volunteering their time and skills to build the new shed.

It is much appreciated and will make working in the garden areas of the playground easier as well as providing much needed storage space.

Thank you again! 🙂
