Autumn Term 2020
The Eco team is made up of children from Red Area, Blue Area and Green Area. The team are a group of extremely hard working children who are eager to continually help our school to become even more environmentally friendly. We were awarded ‘Green Flag’ status for the fifth time in 2018! We are currently preparing our application to renew our ‘Green Flag’ status.
Why did you want to be in the Eco Team?
What have the Eco team been working on in the Autumn Term?
Children in each class who wanted to take on the role of an Eco Representative, nominated themselves. Following this, a whole class vote took place. The Eco Team are very excited to receive their badges in the New Year! All members of Barrs Court School will then be able to recognise who the Eco Team are. The Eco Team was soon given their first Eco mission of the year focusing on investigating energy use in the school. During Switch Off Fortnight in November, we monitored the school’s energy use and had a whole school competition to see who could save the most energy. The winners will soon be announced and they will receive a prize! Although we are not able to meet as a team, we are working on developing our Action Plan and we are looking forward to planning some exciting projects for the remainder of the year. If you have any suggestions for how we could be more Eco friendly, please let us know! We love to hear new ideas.
What has the ECO Team got planned next?
The Eco Team look forward to sharing their latest projects with you as the year progresses.
Spring Term 2021
The Eco team has been eager to work on the actions outlined on the action plan, despite not being in school. As a means to communicate, the team have a group on our school’s online platform which allows them to share ideas and get to know one another virtually. This has so far been very successful, and they hope to have a virtual meeting next term! Announcements can be made on this platform too – including the arrival of the Eco Team badges. The children look forward to wearing these proudly in school when they are able to.
