- Eco club have taken taken part in 'Cut Your Carbon' which is a fun way to learn about the carbon emissions we produce in our everyday lives. We thought about the small positive changes we can make at a school and at home.
- Eco Warriors and the Eco Committee are working towards collecting data to calculate our school's carbon footprint.
- Mrs Dube and four children attended a 'Go Zero Heroes Newcastle' event at the Civic Centre. The children shared with other schools what they have been doing around climate change. They also had the opportunity to engage with other organisations which are supporting schools in their sustainability journeys.
- Year 3 took part in a session all about being an Eco Hero and talking about where 'waste' goes. They also looked at the different types of jobs too which could be involved. The class took part in a quiz about which objects/materials would either be reduced, reused or recycled.

1.7 billion pieces of plastic waste were counted during The Big Plastic Count – this equates to 90 billion pieces of plastic per year!
We can also see what's happening with the UK's plastic waste. Take a look at the chart below to see the results:

We could not be happier as we have now been awarded the Platinum Woodland Trust Award.
As part of the Woodland Trust Platinum award, Year 6 spent the afternoon being photographers, taking images of our school forest. They used a range of techniques to capture some interesting shots and then spent time editing and applying special effects before producing some amazing collages.
