Eco Updates

• We in Holy Cross are very proud to be an Eco
  school. Being an Eco school means caring for the
  whole world environment as well as the school
  environment. Inside the school is kept clean and
  tidy. When visitors arrive they see plants and
  attractive displays. It is also clean and tidy
  outside we put litter in the bins and look
  after our school grounds.

Eco Committee
We discussed different roles and decided if we
would like to undertake a specific job. We then
gave a short presentation explaining why we would
be good for the job the job. After listening to
each person present, the Eco Committee reps then
nominated who they thought would be best at the
different jobs.

P7 Litter Audit

• Earlier this year P7s carried out a litter survey
  in our playground. Guess what they found? (ask
  for ideas of types of litter found) ..lots of
  litter not in the bins, but lying all around our
  school grounds. The Eco committee discussed ways
  of reducing litter in our playground and came up
  with these ideas..
• Eat healthy snacks such as fruit encourage all
  children to take part in Tasty Tuesday, Watery
  Wednesday and Fruity Friday. By doing this we
  found less sweetie wrappers and crisp bags!

Litter Keep our school grounds tidy
We have more litter picks. All classes take
turns to pick up litter at break times, so
remember to check the litter rota to see when
your class are responsible for picking up litter.
Together we will keep our playground clean and
beautiful. Our Eco Litter Police check to see
that litter is being put in bins and that litter
pickers are keeping to the litter rota.
