St Thomas’ Eco-warriors

Our Eco warriors

To help keep our school green and clean, each class elects an Eco-warrior (led by the Year 6 eco warriors). As a team the Eco-warriors have written an eco-code for the school and encourage everyone to follow it and promote ways in which we can be environmentally friendly.  A real focus last year was on healthy eating in school and reducing waste. This year they are very keen to work on improving our outdoor environment, particularly our garden areas and greenhouse and how to improve air quality in and around the school by reducing traffic pollution and improving ventilation around the school building. This builds on our work with Surrey University which you can read here.

We are proud of our Silver Eco-School status but we are working hard to get to Green Flag status.

This is the eco-code that we have written for our school and we expect everyone to follow it – including the teachers and parents!

Our Eco-Warrior Code

Keep our playground green –

• Pick up our litter. The bin is the best place for it!
• Use the correct bin!

Save energy and water –

• Turn off taps and lights. This helps to save money.
• Keep windows closed when heating is on.
• Turn off the screens.

Reuse the rubbish –

• Food goes in our mouths or the waste bin.
• Reuse plastic bags.
• If you don’t want your clothes, someone else will!

Come to school in a green way –

• Try walking, skating, cycling or scooting instead of driving.

You can find out more about our eco-code by watching the film we made putting it into action… Mr Jones, we hope you have learnt your lesson!

Another eco-warrior blockbuster!
