Important things that were discussed
The Eco Committe from last year joined the new
committee to tell them all about their hard work from
last year.
 We tried to get rid of litter by litter picking
in the playground and in the woods.
 We got new litter pickers in school and gave them
out to classes with a rota.
 We tried to get everyone to only fill their
bottles with what they will drink.
 We encouraged everyone to use the correct bins.
 Gemma from McDonald’s set the Scrapheap
Challenge.
 We had a Day of Action with an Earth Hour.
 We did an assembly and sang ‘Don’t Drop Litter,
Put it in the Bin’.
 We put reminder cards in each classroom.
The children felt that there is still some litter
around the bushes and behind the fence and that we
could do better with saving water. The new eco
committee would like to plan an assembly and perhaps
introduce a reward for those who put litter in the
bin. They are also concerned that animals will get
trapped in litter and would like to raise this at
assembly too.
Action Points
Mrs Hunter will take photos of the new reps.
Begin planning the next assembly.
Eco reps will check their classroom to make sure they
have all the correct recycling bins and reminder
cards.
Next Eco Meeting: Friday 12th October.

Important things that were discussed
The Eco Committee split into 3 groups to begin
planning ideas for the assembly. The groups rotated
around three sheets with three key questions. These
were:
 What do we want to tell the school at our Eco
assembly?
 How are we going to tell them?
 Who is going to do what?
After the initial ideas shower, the children decided
they would like to make a PowerPoint to remind the
school about the three topics and the Eco Code. They
also want to make posters to remind the school what
the three topics are and Amber would like to write a
short play to make the assembly more fun.
The Assembly will be on Tuesday 4th December.
We will meet again on Friday 16th November in the ICT
suite to plan the assembly, write the play and make
the PowerPoint and posters.
Action Points
Robbie , Isobel and Cameron will work on the
PowerPoint for the assembly.
Amber and Skye will work on writing a play to perform
at assembly.
Nicole, Rylan and Kai will make posters to show at
assembly.

Important things that were discussed
After the Assembly on Tuesday, the Eco committee went
around each class to collect all the suggestions to
improve the Eco Code. Today, we worked in pairs to
read through each of the suggestions and we sorted
them into piles depending on which area of Eco the
suggestion was about. We read them out to each other
and picked our favourites.
We decided to keep the three rhyming statements
because we thought these were fun and easy to
remember. We changed some of the other statements
because we thought the school had made better
suggestions and we changed the statement about lights
because we wanted to remind everyone that we should
save energy by turning off Smartboards and computers
as well as by turning off the lights.
Action Points
We will meet again after Christmas on Friday 18th
January.
During this meeting, we will plan another assembly to
tell the school about the new Eco Code. We will also
set a challenge to each class to make and display the
code in their classroom.
We will perform Amber’s play during this assembly too
as we did not have time to rehearse and show it
before Christmas.
