Today the Green Team went out to the garden to plant courgettes. Firstly we put the soil in the plant pots then we made some holes for the plants to go in and lastly we put the plants in the pots. We planted nine courgettes and each of us will take them home for summer.
The Eco team would like to say a big thanks to everyone who looked after our veggies over the Easter Break – we have planted the beans in the veggie plot and the Health Groups are going to look after them now they have been planted. This week we are going to harvest some rhubarb, plant some of our baby courgettes and investigate growing pumpkins (hopefully ready for harvest in time for Halloween)
Today in the Green Team we updated not only this blog but also the Green Team board with pictures of our new bird feeders and our part of the website.
Today we looked at re-writing our Eco Code. To help us we looked at Eco codes used by other schools. Our code had to include all the things we do to help protect the envirnoment. We worked in small groups to collect all of our ideas and then used Inspiration to record all of our ideas. Have a look at what we have done so far. Next week we will hopefully finish our code and share it with the school.
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.
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!
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.
