Eco-Schools Assembly

In Assembly today, the children were introduced to our school's Eco-Committee - a group of children in Year 4 who will help to lead us in our bid to be a "greener", more environmentally aware school.
Today the "Green Team" re-read the school's Eco Code and explained to the children how they could help to follow the code.
This academic year we are intending to apply for "Green Flag" status within the "Eco-Schools" scheme. We have made a number of detailed plans which we will pursuing in our daily school routines and also studying within our curriculum.
