Eco – Team assembly 18th January 2024
We are the Eco-Team in school and we are proud to be making a small difference!
In 2015, World leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals the whole world should aim for.
These goals will help to build a greener, fairer, better world for us all by 2030…
…and we all have a role to play in achieving them!
There are lots of ways we can all do our bit and make a difference to the school environment but 3 main things we want to focus on are:
- Reduce the amount of electricity we use
- Re-use or recycle plastic and paper
- Put our litter in a bin!
We have:
- Put posters up in the playground – to remind you to put rubbish in a bin!
- Planned a litter pick in Alpington village with Mrs. Fowler
- Moved a bin in the playground to make it more visible from the field (explain which one and why we moved it)
- Made posters for classrooms
Eco-Team have some ideas for you to do at home too:
Turn the tap off when you’re brushing your teeth to save water.
Turn lights off when rooms are empty!
Walk to school, if you can.
Remember to use your recycling bin!
Don’t leave phones and gadgets on charge overnight!
Autumn Term
Introducing the 2022-23 Eco Team!
Results of our environmental review and our whole school targets for the year
Spring Term
The whole school took part in an eco-day themed around developing our understanding of ‘global citizenship’. In their Alpington families, the children participated in a range of activities around school which were linked to the sustainable development goals set out by the U.N.
Summer Term
We finally worked through the application for our Eco- Schools Green Flag Award and completed an end of year review which we shared with Mrs Welch. We discussed all the things we felt we had achieved this year as an a school and why it is important young people are given the chance to be active change makers!
