Our meeting started at 3pm as usual with everyone gathering in Miss Briggs’ room.
Today we had a chance to look at the Eco Club Blog together, finding out how to access it in school and at home and how to add comments -everyone’s ideas are welcome here!
We have got new computers in school, this was a great way to make use of the new technology!
Once we had all noted the web address, we decided to tackle an issue that we really care about – litter.
We have a litter picking rota set up in school which allows each class to have an opportunity to litter pick within the school grounds, but we are very fond of our pitch and community centre which lie just outside the school gates and they have been looking a little scruffy lately! Green Team to the rescue!
Gathering our Litter Pickers (bought with Eco Club funds!), Hi-Vis vests and gloves we set off.
On the way we encountered a HUGE spider! (You can leave your ideas for a name in the comments!)
We had a really productive half hour of team work clearing discarded bottles, sweetie wrappers, and fruit skins from around the area, making it a much nicer place to be before heading back to conclude our meeting. Green team: a good job, well done!





Next week- please bring a 2ltr milk carton and an orange juice carton as we would like to make some recycled craft using them – check out some of these awesome ideas online if you want to make a head start!
