Eco Council

The Eco Council meet to discuss ways of keeping St Michael's 'green' and helping the environment.

 

The Eco Committee for 2019-20 are:

 

This year the Eco council have introduced and organised our Walk Once a Week project.

We monitor each classes progress using the Living streets website and give out badges to all the children who have successfully walked to school at least once a week.

We understand that you may live further a way and need to drive to school so we allowed for this by introducing a park and walk option, this way you still get your badge plus the extra exercise.

 

Eco council are keen to implement any ideas from their peers. One of the year 6 children questioned why we laminate our award certificates.

We surveyed all the classes and as a school we have agreed:

• Not to laminate certificates
• Have the option to receive a badge only and not a certificate and badge
• Have the option to return bronze, silver and gold badges at the end of the year for recycling

We have many things planned for the future such as a 'green day'.

 

 

During lockdown we are unable to continue our 'Walk Once a Week' initiative. However, Living Streets have updated their webpage to include lots of activities for you and your family.
