ACTION
This is on-going , we have looked at
our energy usage and made graphs
to show when we use the most
energy . we also looked at the time
of year and the weather. We now
make sure that all electrical things in
the class are switched off when not
being used.
We still walk to school one a week .
We have themed walk to school
events. We looked at the traffic
survey and decided we needed to
see if we could reduce the car
journeys taken by pupils and parents.
we will use the walk to school to
highlight the dog fouling ion the
pavements ( poster competition? )
We have created litter patrols to
check for litter on the school yard.
We noticed most of the litter on the
yard was blown in from outside the
school. Bin to be bought and a
completion to design a logo for the
bin
This is on going. We will have more
themed walks to school. We will use
