ECO SCHOOLS - The eco-schools programme is an international scheme spanning 46 countries around the world. Scotland has more eco-schools than any other country, and our school is one of them! Class 7 and class 3 are leading the eco-schools work in our school – starting with looking at energy use and keeping our school grounds free of litter. But there is lots more that we can do and we need pupils, teachers, staff and parents to help us get our Green Flag. Once in each half term we will be holding a meeting for anyone interested in eco-schools. At our meetings we will talk about what we have done so far and discuss our ‘action plans’ for making our school greener. We’ll be looking at things like food, travel, recycling and water use. Our next meeting will be on Friday 5th Dec at 12.20 in the Class 7 hut. Please come to find out more! From class 7 and class 3. For more information visit www.ecoschoolsscotland.org
