Eco Warriors
Woodcot Primary School strives to ensure that we are an eco-friendly school, looking after our environment, being eco-friendly and ensuring we are energy efficient. We strive to teach all our children the importance of preserving both their local and global environment. The Eco-Warriors are children who have a love for the environment and have volunteered to help the staff and children at Woodcot become more environmentally friendly. They play an active role in helping the school become more eco-friendly and they come up with new ideas on how to promote sustainability at home as well as at school.
Their main responsibilities include:
- Collating ideas from each of the classes
- Recycling
- Planting
- Promoting Energy Efficiency
- Organising Eco-friendly activities
- Adding information to our newsletters to increase awareness of Eco Issues
- Working towards the Eco Award
- Helping school leaders to make decisions about Eco-related issues
- Meeting with governors of our school to update them on the progress of our school in becoming an Eco-friendly school.
We know that our young people care deeply about environmental issues and have a strong desire to actively protect our planet. However, environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity-loss, or plastic pollution are huge global issues and the thought of tackling them can be intimidating, leaving many feeling overwhelmed and wondering ‘Where do I begin?’
The Eco-Schools programme provides a simple, seven-step framework that answers this question whilst empowering young people to make a difference in their school, local community and beyond. Since 1994, millions of young people around the world have worked through the Eco-Schools Seven Steps before being recognised for their efforts with a prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag.
Our Eco-Warriors: names....... will be leading us on the adventure over the next academic year.
