SPRING 2021 - ECO SCHOOL GREEN FLAG AWARD
03/05/2021
Weeks and months of home-learning notwithstanding, the Eco-Committee led us over the last year to the end of the path to gain our Eco-Schools Green Flag Award. The Committee held many online meetings over lockdowns to conjure up suggestions for activities that would encourage all pupils to continue in their green efforts at home. Eco-Committee members were encouraged to post their suggestions on Firefly and social media to encourage classmates to take up all sorts of activities, alongside photos of the work they had been doing themselves. Activities included growing herbs, fruit and vegetables, making bird boxes and insect hotels, making sculptures from recycled materials, composting, taking pictures of wildlife and continuing to keep Mondays meat free through cooking delicious vegan and vegetarian recipes at home. How proud the Committee has been to finally see the awarded flag hoisted now in front of the Junior School! What would Miss Gladstone, Miss Bearman or Miss Allen, former Heads of the Junior School have thought of that?!
