Eco-School Committee

This year, Miss.Jones and I have continued to work with our Eco-committee to help raise awareness of ecological issues. Some of the topics we have covered include:

  • Researching and discussing how to help protect the local environment and wildlife by taking care of waste disposal correctly.
  • Recycling, reducing, composting and re-using rubbish.
  • Energy and water saving reasons and tips for others.
As I teach across Oakwood, I have noticed that the committee's messages are certainly having an impact: KS 1 have started using their composting bins at snack time again; children are reminding others not to leave the tap running at the sinks and I am always being asked if the lights or projector should go off if we are about to leave a room.

The last activity the committee had was to create a board game (Snakes and Ladders) style to promote being green. A few examples of their drafts can be seen below.
