2024-2025

🌏 Our Eco Code 🌏

Everyone should put their litter in the bin.

Cut your carbon emissions by walking to school.

Only use the water that you need. 

Summer Term 

In the first half of the summer term we celebrated Earth day 🌎 as a whole school. There was a whole school assembly to introduce the day. Each year group then focused on a different area and completed a different task. The children in Year 5 had a debate about the use of plastic, the children in Year 2 made pledges to our planet and the year 6 children investigated coral reefs 🪸. 
 

in the second half of the summer term we will be summarising all our work and thinking about what needs to be continued by next years eco team. 
 

Spring Term

This term we have had an online workshop delivered by Anglian Water. They explained the processes water must go through to be cleaned and the importance of saving water. We then created some posters with top tips to reduce water consumption. 

We also hosted an Eco Conference with all the schools in SWF. Our town mayor attended as a guest speaker to talk to us about Eco problems in our local area and what we can do to help. Please visit the local library to see some of our work on display! 

Autumn Term 

During the first half term our new Eco Committee was elected. We completed an evaluation of the schools Eco work so far in order for us to come up with our action plan. The 3 topics we have decided to focus on this year are: Water, Energy and Marine. 

In November we took part in 'Cut your Carbon' month. The children all took home a challenge sheet to complete. This included tasks such as walking to school rather than driving, taking a 4 minute shower and eating only plant-based for a day.
