Eco Schools
Introduction
ECO Code
Everyone think green! Save energy by walking or biking to school.
Collaborate – pick up litter, turn off lights and taps.
One planet – reuse, recycle, be resilient and use what you have.
Curiosity about the world – plant something new.
Own the code – be brave! Tell your friends and family.
Determined to make our world better – only buy what you need.
Eat what’s on your plate and waste less food.
We would like to introduce an exciting new project that we are involved in for the coming year and beyond. Wheelwright Lane have signed up to an Eco-Schools initiative which will help to make a difference to our school and hopefully the wider community. This will involve us in projects like recycling, reducing waste and developing ecology and sustainability throughout the year.
We have selected a team of Eco-Warriors who will help empower children to lead environmental education and action in our school and community. Some of the activities we will be introducing include exploring climate change through our rainforest topic, classifying animal habitats and plants within the school grounds, building a bug hotel and learning to cook a healthy eco-friendly recipe.
We will also be encouraging other ideas such as helping to reduce energy use and lunchtime waste so please watch out for exciting developments. We will keep you updated on our progress and initiative as we work towards achieving our Eco-Schools Green Flag Award. Ways you could help at home are by encouraging your child’s interest and look for simple ways to make your home more eco-friendly.
Thank you for your support in this exciting initiative.
The Eco-Team
