Eco Schools
Reduce, reuse, recycle,
Keep our school clean.
Bin it, box it, bag it,
Be green!
In Primary 3 it is our responsibility to look after the bird feeders and feed the birds over the winter.
We started this term by doing an audit of the resources available and were sad
when we discovered there was only one bird feeder left and a bird table.
What were we going to do? We decided that we needed a shopping list.
- Seed for the birds
- Nuts to fill the feeder
- New bird feeders
When we asked about funding we found that there was no money available, so we are going to do some fund raising ourselves. Watch out for that next term. We hope you will take part and support us, so we can support the birds over the winter.
In June 2009 the school achieved its third Eco-Schools green flag!
The Eco-Schools is an international initiative designed to encourage whole-school action for the environment. It is a recognized award scheme that accredits schools who make a commitment to continuously improve their environmental performance. It is also a learning resource that raises awareness of environmental and sustainable development issues throughout activities linked to curricular subjects and areas.
The aim of the Eco-Schools programme is to make environmental awareness and action an intrinsic part of the life and ethos of the school for both pupils and for staff and to engage the wider community.
The Eco-Schools programme can help schools to:
