Eco Council for 2019-2020

Eco Winner

Congratulations to our P5 pupil who was a winner in the recent Household Recycling Competition. She received a special prize at an award ceremony on Friday 6th Dec.

​Congratulations to our newly appointed Eco Council representatives from C2, P4, P5, P6, C3 and P7.  We are looking forward to a rewarding and productive year together.

​Our Gardening Club and Eco Club members have been busy.
 We have started work on our new bug hotel.  Conor’s Grandad kindly brought in some wooden pallets for us to use.
We recycled empty cardboard tubes to make pencil holders and old egg cartons to make decorations for the Harvest Assembly.
We also planted some flowers and of course we had time for weeding!
 

ECO-Council for 2018-19

SUCCESS!  OUR NEW ECO FLAG!

We were awarded our new ECO FLAG on 23 May 2019!

Eco-Club
We have started an Eco-Club which will run after school each Friday.  The members will rotate four or five times a year to give the very many children who have applied a chance to work in the garden and around the flower beds in our grounds.
We elected our Eco-Council for 2018-2019 in September 2018 and there are representatives from each class from P1-P7, C2 and C3. The eco-council meet with the KS1 and Foundation Stage classes to get their ideas.
 
The Eco-Councillors are elected from P4, P5, P6 P7 & C3 classes

We also work closely with the school staff representatives. They are:
Staff Reps:
Mrs A Alexander (Teacher-in Charge)
Mrs K Beattie (Teacher)
Mr P Young (Building Supervisor)
 
 
Action Plan
 
We are a Green Flag School. In June 2013 we were awarded a Green Flag for all our hard work improving our school and the environment.
 
Our current Eco-Council have worked together to create an action plan for the Green Flag this year. It tells us what we are going to do. The Eco-councillors are responsible for making sure everything on the action plan is carried out.
 
 
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
 
In school we use the blue bin recycling scheme. We try to make sure we recycle as mush as possible in our classrooms. The Eco-Council are introducing a recycling checklist to help make sure only recyclable items are put in these bins.
 
We also have compost bins in each class which we use to recycle fruit peelings etc. This is emptied each day and placed in the compost bin by pupils from C3 who are responsible for composting in school. This compost will be used in our school garden when it is ready.
 
 
Healthy Break
 
 
All our classes from foundation stage take part in the healthy break scheme. They have fruit or toast for break and this has helped reduce the amount of litter in school. The other classes in school are encouraged to eat a healthy break and refill their water bottles using the water fountain in school.
 
Curriculum
 
All the classes from P4-7, C2 and C3 took part in Healthy Living lessons during Curriculum Enrichment. They learnt about eating healthy food, exercise and how the body stays healthy.
 
 
School Garden
 
The PTA and Eco-Council worked very hard to get funding to help create a school garden. We designed the garden ourselves and created an outdoor classroom. We hope to involve parents as much as possible in planting and maintaining the garden.

Eco-Club
We have started an Eco-Club which will run after school each Friday.  The members will rotate four or five times a year to give the very many children who have applied a chance to work in the garden and around the flower beds in our grounds.
