Eco-Warriors
Academic Year 2021-2022 Eco-Warriors
An Eco-Warrior is an individual who cares about our environment and the diversity of life forms that share it. Being an Eco-Warrior is to simply care for our environment in our daily activities and decision making.
Our team of school Eco-Warriors will be working with Mrs Gates and Mrs Wasley to develop our Mystical Garden, Forest Schools program, and help our school to look after the environment. We are very excited to be working towards the Woodlands trust green tree award.

Eco meeting 24th January
Eco council are excited to be working towards making our school more eco friendly. We have joined the kids against plastic challenge and are hoping to inspire everyone at school to recycle their plastic so we can be a clever plastic school.
our first challenge is to reduce the amount of milk bottles that we have in school and make sure that they go in recycling bins and not our general watse. In our first week we were able to recycle over half of the schools palstic bottles. We were so proud of our efforts.
Update 7.03.2022
Forest school have been inspired to go single use plastic free by our eco council members. We have started to use items that can be washed after use. Thank you to the "Big Red Kitchen" for supplying us some old plates and cups.
