Eco-posters

We've been designing posters to go up around the school. We thought posters would be a good idea because they'll remind everyone to try and make our school more eco-friendly. You may want to print one off and put it up at home. How eco-friendly are you?

This posters was designed by Megan from Year 5.

Working towards the Silver Award.

This term, the eco team have been working towards the silver award. Our school has already been awarded the EcoSchool Bronze certificate for looking after our school.
We have made a litter picking rota for this current term. The results have been very successful. As the eco team, we are on patrol for any litterbugs. We record the names of any in our eco diaries.
The eco team will also start to have after school meetings on a Thursday starting on February 25th February.
In the eco team, we encourage our school to save energy. Things we want to see include:-
- turning off the lights (last person out of classroom/toilets);
- turning off computers when not in use;
- closing the door to the corridors/classroom to save the heating;
- making sure electrical appliances are turned off at the wall/plug (not just left on standby).
We also check the energy metre weekly and record our energy consumption. We are starting to see a great improvement - keep up the good work, Kitwell!
