Eco Council

Eco-Schools is a global programme engaging millions of children across 64 different countries, making it the largest environmental schools programme in the world.

Eco – Schools enhances pupils skills, raises environmental awareness and improves the school enviornment.

Here at Bowerham we have a very special and dedicated team of “Eco – Warriors” who support the school in being as environmentally friendly as it can be!

Keep updated with any of our Eco – news via this page! We can’t wait to share with you the exciting projects we will take part in!

Remember…

“Stay green and support your Eco – team!”

The Eco warriors have been working hard to create an action plan and have decided on the three topics they would like to focus on.

These are: Biodiversity, The School Grounds and Waste.

We learnt about food sustainability and recycling our food waste which will help us reduce our co2 emissions as a school. We also learnt about the importance of not having a monoculture of plants in our environment and how we can help by planting different varieties of plants around the school grounds. We are also working with ‘Where the Wildlings are’ to make our school grounds more biodiverse and calming for the children.

School Grounds

We are currently working with ‘Where the Wildlings are’ to help us re-wild our school grounds to promote a healthy eco system within school.

We are currently creating a community garden on the field for all to increase the opportunities for outdoor learning.

 

Bio Diversity

The Eco team have planted an array of trees bushes and shrubs next to the main playground to create our own sensory garden where the children will be able to go and use as a quite sensory space for their wellbeing.

We are going to be planting fruit trees along the edge of the field to help increase habitat for wildlife, therefore creating a more bio diverse environment.

Waste

In school this year we will be starting to recycle our food waste as a whole, this will help us to reduce our co2 emissions.

We are going to work together as a school to help reduce our waste, this will include keeping up with the restocking of our clothes rail and having a nearly new sale for peoples loved toys and items.

 

Where The Wildlings Are

The Eco Council have been busy getting started with our whole school ‘Where the Wildings Are’ project. We have lots of exciting plans to further develop our school grounds for wildlife and growing food, alongside increasing opportunities for outdoor learning!
We started on the development of a new willow tunnel as part of our new community garden ☺️🌿🌳
