We have now built our bottle greenhouse, just like this one:

Our latest eco-friendly project was to build an environmentally friendly greenhouse from recycling around 1,500 plastic bottles!

The Government wants every school to be a sustainable school by 2020. This means learning about sustainable development issues and putting sustainable practices into everyday school life.

Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a framework to help embed these principles into the heart of school life.

Children are the driving force behind Eco-Schools – they lead the eco-committee and help carry out an audit to assess the environmental performance of their school. Through consultation with the rest of the school and the wider community it is the pupils that decide which environmental themes they want to address and how they are going to do it. Measuring and monitoring is an integral part of the Eco-Schools programme, providing schools with all the evidence they need to really shout about their environmental success.  

Schools work towards gaining one of three awards – Bronze, Silver and the prestigious Green Flag award, which symbolises excellence in the field of environmental activity.  Bronze and Silver are both self accredited through this website and Green Flag is externally assessed by Keep Britain Tidy.

Did any of you get to see the town centre in February when the school was closed?

How many of you saw this flooding in November on the Crown roundabout?
