Eco Club
This club is ran for different year groups so see the separate sections below for more information:
November 2024 - Over the past few weeks, Eco Club have set up a new composter and hedgehog house in the school grounds. They have been collecting worms to help break down the leaves, cardboard and food scraps that they have been gathering. The Eco Clubbers also installed the new hedgehog house, and by clearing a path in the school's woodland, they gathered enough leaves and sticks to make the hedgehog house nice and cosy for the winter. Watch this space to see if we have any visitors to the hedgehog house over the next few weeks!
June 2023 - In eco club this week we have been learning about worms! We have been beginning to understand how important worms are for the soil and have created our own wormery so we can see them at work.
April 2023 - In eco club last week we went outside with our litter pickers to help tidy up our school playground. We collected lots of rubbish and talked about why we shouldn't throw litter on the floor. The children also had lots of fun using the litter pickers.
Eco Club for Year 1 and Year 2
At Eco Club we are learning about how to care for our local environment both in school and the wider community. We are exploring different ways to live sustainably and how to Reduce waste, Reuse materials and Recycle.
We have lots of fun and get outside to explore nature and our school grounds.
Mrs Dodd, Dave ( Mr Condliffe) and Summer (who is working for her Duke of Edinburgh award at Excel Academy) lead our group.
We would love you to join us at Eco club, please ask Mrs Dodd or the Office for more information.
Tuesday 2nd November 2021
In eco club this week we have learnt about the importance of trees.
Dave Condliffe visited us and brought with him some baby fir trees for us to plant and look after.
We have taken them home and will need to water them and keep them outside.
Fir trees can live to be hundreds of years old and will grow very tall!
We also scattered some bluebells seeds around the trees at school and enjoyed doing some bark rubbings on the silver birch trees.
We had a great time!
