ECO Assembly
Our Eco-Committee has worked hard this year and through our amazing efforts we have achieved the coveted award of ‘Green Flag Status’ by Eco-Schools. Our impressive work surrounding recycling and saving electricity has helped us become a more sustainable school.
We have really enjoyed being this year’s JRSOs (Junior Road Safety Officers). We have had to stand up in assembly to tell everyone about what we were planning and this was a boost for our confidence.
During Walk to School Week in October and May, we handed out sausages (and ate quite a few ourselves!), biscuits and fruit for anyone who walked, scooted or cycled to school. In June, we served a Bikers’ Breakfast of pastries in the middle of Bike to School Week. At Junior House, Miya and Orla, our Year 2 JRSOs, served the snacks and breakfast.
We carried out several traffic patrols with the Year 2 JRSOs and a PCSO and asked any drivers parking on double yellow lines on Sandelswood End to move on. Outside Upper School, the parents were very good when they saw us with the PCSO.
We ran a competition with the Eco Prefect in June to raise awareness of sustainability and environmental issues. The winners of the quiz received environmentally friendly wild flower seed packs!
We should like to thank Mrs Stevenson, Mrs Avery and the School Travel Team; we have enjoyed our time as JRSOs and have learned so much from our year. It was a great experience!
