So far, the Litter and Waste Committee, have created a litter picking rota and discussed ideas of how to encourage pupils to put their rubbish into the school bins. We have had some great ideas so far and look forward to implementing some of these in the coming months.
October Meeting
The Travel Plan Committee are trying to encourage all pupils to walk, cycle, scooter or park and stride to school. If they come in the car, they can complete laps of the playground! We are running a survey every Wednesday, with a prize for the class with the most people participating in our travel plan.
Halloween Cooking
This week the cookery club spent Halloween making some delicious Witchy Apples. After preparing and peeling we had fun dipping them into chocolate and decorating. 
At our October meeting, our Chairperson and Vice Chairperson, showed our group a presentation about ‘The Story of the Brazil Nut’.
We were able to identify South America and the Equator and identify the physical characteristics of a rainforest and learn about the different layers.
We discussed how Brazil nuts survive and about the work of Brazil nut gatherers. Brazil nut gatherers work hard to protect areas of the rainforest where Brazil nuts grow.
We enjoyed the group quiz about Fairtrade produce.
