We finally have chosen the roles and jobs. Jennifer is the chair person, Kai, Jake, Josh and Euan are all resources manager, Chris as the secretary and is also the blogger with Esther. After a fair vote we decided that our name is not Eco team but is Green team
We are planning to:
This week the eco team are going to do some planning. We’ll also be giving out jobs. It’s been 3 weeks and already we’re making our school more eco friendly! We’re going to need: a chair person, a scribe (someone to take the minutes), some recycling people and a photographer.
Today the eco group were picking apples in the outdoor stage area. They are not eating apples but are good for feeding horses and making delicious pies or jelly. We also dug up the remaining potatoes and harvested the last of the beans. Mrs Little has our potatoes again and will hopefully work her magic once more! All the eco group have some apples to take home and try.
They are all going to try and take a picture of them cooking or using the apples at home and bring it into school.
Esther – ‘ I didn’t realise how many apples there were just sitting there or falling down from the trees…there were heaps of them and can’t wait to try the pies I am going to make’
Chris – ‘ It was lots of hard work but at last it is done’
Today the eco group are going to be working on some of the work required in the school garden. Litter patrols, willow tidy, apple harvest and harvesting the remaining veggies from the garden.
Hopefully we can bag up as many of the cooking apples as possible and have them available to family and friends of the school to take home and use.
If we have time we will also finish our signs from last week and have them displayed around the school.
In the eco group today we created signs to place above and below our school light switches. We hope that these signs will help save energy by reminding people to turn of lights when they are not being used. We also talked about our goals for this year. Our number one eco goal is to achieve our 2nd Eco Green Flag with Eco Schools Scotland.
Also last week we tasted our wonderful school veggies and everyone enjoyed them – especially the french beans!
This week we are going to make signs for around the school encourgaing us to look after the environment. The signs will be about saving our resources of energy and water. Can you guess what they might be?
Today it has been glorious in the Forgandenny School garden. Everyone has played their part in picking broad and runner beans and digging up the Red Rooster Potatoes. We are going to send the harvest to Mrs Little (our wonderful school cook) and she will whisk up some delicious school lunches. Each of the Eco team are also bringing home a sample of the school veggies.
Today is the 1st eco team meeting of the school year. Hopefully everyone has brought a change of clothes with them. Today we are going to harvest all the veggies that have been growing in our school garden over the summer. Fingers crosses we will be able to eat them with our school dinners next week.
