Welcome to the ECO Committee
The Year 6 members of our Eco Committee have created a fantastic PowerPoint presentation to introduce themselves and their roles. This has been shared across the school in our virtual assemblies and we would like to share it with you too.

The ECO Committee have their bronze award!!
Congratulations to our ECO Committee who have recently been awarded their Bronze Award for all their hard work over the past 18months. We have successfully met the criterion which includes establishing an ECO Committee (and maintaining it even during the pandemic), creating an action plan and sharing this with the whole school. We have lots of new ideas that we will be working on to help us move towards our Silver Award and we will be looking for new recruits soon!

RSPB Birdwatch
Thank you to everyone that took part in the Big Schools’ Birdwatch this year, the results are in! The blackbird, last year’s number one, has switched to second place. The Woodpigeon is now in the top spot. It’s the largest and commonest pigeon, making its home in fields, woods, parks and gardens.

Autumn 2020-21 Action Plan
2019/2020
Our ECO Committee
In 2019, we created an ECO Committee to encourage members of Almond Hill Junior School and its community to become more environmentally aware and promote environmentally friendly behaviours that help us to reduce; reuse and recycle; protect and care for the natural spaces around us.
We established our ECO Committee and as a group decided on some initial actions we wanted to take to help us improve our environmental impact and celebrate the lovely green spaces we are lucky to have around us in our school grounds.
Our Action Plan in 2019-20 focused on these three areas
Energy
What we've done so far:
Our “Last out, lights out!” campaign.
Litter
What we've done so far:
Year 4 regular litter picker team.
School Grounds
What we've done so far:
Opened our brand new bird hide!
Although our plans were disrupted by lockdown in 2020, our members and school community still enjoyed various activities and helped us to carry on with some of our plans:
