Last term, the Eco Committee became nature investigators by researching mini ponds and why they are important for animals such as insects, frogs and birds. We explored what makes a good pond habitat, including the need for sunlight, shelter and a safe space for wildlife. We then carried out a survey of our local area to find the best possible location for our own mini pond, carefully considering where it could thrive. 
 

We also discussed how to “cut our carbon” and the importance of eating less meat and reducing car fumes in our local environment. The children shared ideas about how walking, cycling or scooting to school can help improve air quality and keep our community healthier. 

We also made bird feeders using recyclable materials, helping to reuse waste while caring for birds in our local area. The committee also created eye-catching posters to promote the Walk and Wheel Challenge, encouraging our wider school to make more environmentally friendly travel choices.  

Over the summer term we are looking forward to planting and growing tomato plants to support healthy, home grown eating!
