Competition coming this term - What is a healthy snack?

During our last meeting, the Eco Committee enjoyed experimenting with a vast variety of fruit and made their own different combinations of Fruit Kebabs. This was the beginning of a video promotion for assembly that will be presented to the school explaining how this competition will work.  

  

  

 

WINTER TERM 2025

 

An email to request brown bread as an option for sandwiches has been sent to our lunch provider.  The rest of the committee were very busy designing and discussing  healthy lunch boxes and what they thought they should contain.

 

  

 

This term we are working on Healthy Living as this is one of the topics we have selected for our Eco Renewal.  Some of the committee were brainstorming - What is Healthy Living? TXmas

Xmas is fast approaching and as usual gardening club have been asked to decorate a Xmas tree for our local church.  Two sessions later and this is our finished item. Brilliant. 

Eco Eco Committee were busy gathering ideas for the new Eco Code that relates to our topics for this year. Lots of interesting ideas were being put down. I  can't wait to see the finished code.

  

  

The above group of children asked their parents if they could buy litter pickers to use in a stream run off from a farmers field that is adjacent to the local park.  It was here after-school  they were photographed . The collected a large black bin bag full.  This is not the first time they have  been using them according to their parents. Well Done 

Litter Picking is being encouraged with the offer of borrowing litter pickers from school, for family weekend walks. We already have one family who have used this opportunity to clean up the environment near their home. 

  

  

The Toy Swap was a great success. Thank you for all those who took part. Watch out for a similar event next spring.

  

We are starting our new Eco Challenges this term. They are Healthy Living, Waste and Litter.  The new Eco committee are busy making posters for our Toy Swap on the 29th November 2024.  Any child in school that wishes to swap a toy that they have finished with and has all the parts/pieces  or hasn't been opened will be able to to do this on the 29th.  Any items left over will be donated to a local charity shop.

 

Welcome to the new gardening club for this half term.
Already we have been busy cutting back shrubs and generally having a tidy up.
