The following information is from our Eco Council:

The Eco-team have two exciting missions, and your superpowers are needed — starting with our first challenge: Cut the Carbon! and with our Bin-tastic Challenge!

Cut the Carbon! 

This November, we’re on a mission to shrink our carbon footprints and make a real impact. Each week, our Eco-Warriors will be tracking progress and cheering you on.  There are six suggestions to help us cut carbon:

• Eat a plant-based meal
• Leave the car at home and walk or cycle instead
• Meal plan to reduce food waste 
• Lower your washing machine temperature to 30°C or lower
• Have a device-free day
• Turn down the heating by 1° for a week

Bin-tastic Challenge!

Our playground bins are ready for a makeover — and we want YOUR brilliant ideas! The Eco Team is calling on all creative minds to design a brand-new bin that’s fun, functional, and fabulous.

🎨 Your Mission:  Grab an A4 sheet of paper and sketch your dream bin design. Think bold colours, cool shapes, and eco-friendly features. Could it talk? Could it sort recycling? Could it look like a robot or a tree? 

🌱 The Eco Team will review all the designs and choose the most awesome one to inspire our new playground bins!  Deadline Friday 7^th November. 

This week, Year 5 have been focused on their Skills Builder project developing their teamworking, listening, creativity and problem-solving skills. We also had an amazing experience today having had the opportunity to tour a rural Kenyan school via Zoom as part of our Global Goal learning. It was wonderful to interact with the Kenyan students, teachers and see their school. A great end to a busy half-term.
