We had a short meeting today to finish off some important business.
1) We reviewed our Eco Action Plans.
2) We finished our new Action Target display (see the photo!)
3) We agreed on next steps for each sub-team.

Our next steps are:
Litter > Visit classes on a weekly basis to remind them about their weekly litter pick duty.
Biodiversity > Agree dates and classes for Beach cleans.
Energy > Start weekly class energy checks.

Bio-diversity have been checking ‘The Pod’ and designing the new target wall.
We have also created a competition to get pupils to design our new Eco-garden. We also started arranging a new compost system for school.

Litter team have been designing new labels for the recycling bins next to Mrs Reaps office. We have researched buying new bins for the playground and have also made a class litter pick table.

Energy team have been drawing pictures/posters for class Eco heroes. We then visited classes to do an energy check and have decided to do weekly checks and announce winning class. We then started organising ‘Switch Off Fortnight’.

1) RAG BAG will be collected on Friday 29.11.12

Hello to everyone at eyemouth primary and this is just to say about whats happening around eco stuff in the the playground and that we got our badges!
we are gonna be weeding out the flowerpots and i dunno if we will be doing this but i have a idea that we could spray paint a leaf on the top of the pyramid.

1) We toured the school to see what is ‘eco-good’ and what could be ‘eco-better’.

2) We sorted ourselves into topic teams (Biodiversity, Energy, Litter).

3) We did a mini litter pick, some weeding and a school energy check.

4) We chose our leader (Cara), vice-leader (Rory) and secretary (Duncan).

Here’s to a very ECO year.

Today we thought about ideas for new eco plans to make us an even better eco school.

 Some of our ideas were:

– litter hunting competition

– paint an enormous Eco flag on the playground

– make a poster to keep the school Eco

– make a new Eco song that is more catchy

– class litter picks

-an Eco talent show!

We might be going to Glasgow to visit a community garden to look at some ideas for use in the Eyemouth community garden.
We went up to the old portacabin site and talked about what we could use the space for. We would like to use it for growing fruit and vegetables. We could then use them in the canteen.

The team decided to introduce a new litter reduction initiative.

Using ‘Litter Police’, the team will be monitoring the playgrounds at break times and awarding house points to pupils spotted putting litter in  bins or picking litter up.

The team were keen to issues warnings to litter droppers too and wanted to keep a list of any culprits.

‘Litter Police’ gear is to organised by Mr Bewsey.
