Climate Week is a national occasion that reminds everyone to reduce, reuse and recycle to combat climate change. It is to remind us to do our bit to protect our planet.

Last year an earthquake hit Haiti on the 24 th January. The country has yet to recover.

The eruption of a volcano in Iceland resulted in flights over Europe being grounded for more than a week in April 2010.

The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan has left the country devastated.

What can we do ….. It may not seem like much but having our School Eco Code in mind will help. Turn fruit waste into compost Help the environment – recycle, reuse, reduce I can make a difference! Not in use turn it off! Keep our school clean and tidy

Make sure you put the right waste into the correct bin. The School Councillors last year worked very hard to achieve the Eco Schools Bronze Award. This year we hope to achieve the Silver Award. But we need your help……. Remember when you leave the classroom you must turn off the lights. Turn the smart board off when the teacher has finished using it.

To help save electricity in school don’t leave computers on standby. Recycle paper and card in the classroom. Turn lights off when they are not needed. Pick all rubbish and waste up and put it in bins.

Please don’t fill your water bottles all the way to the top. Look after the environment. Do not drop litter. Respect the community. Always remember to reduce, reuse and recycle. Think about all of the people affected by climate change.

The children have put together an Eco Pack for each classroom. Your teacher will keep the pack safe and will allow you in Golden Time or wet play times or free time to get one of the fun things out to do. In the pack is a sheet of great websites the School Council found that have recycling, reusing and reducing games to play.
