We now have a new Eco committee who have already had two meetings to get to know what their role will be this year. Thank you to James and Ellis in P7 who were Eco reps last year and will help to keep us all on target this year. Your experience helps the new members. Every year we have to think up new ideas to help us be more and more eco friendly as well as keep up the good work like litter pick ups, recycling our paper, growing vegetables in our new garden, composting, switching off lights and saving water, being healthy, walking to school and looking after our school playground. This week your rep will be asking you for ideas on what we can do in school, here in Pencaitland, that will help the world. We are looking for your ideas of how we can act lobal and global! Put your thinking hats on everyone!
Look out too for when our new bins arrive in school! Thanks to Emily who came to talk to the whole school to tell us about recyling, reducing and re-using. We will get 5 new recycling bins for all kinds of paper and card and two new bins for glass, plastic bottles and cans. These will be emptied by East lothian Council just as our bins are emptied at home- so we will be helping to reduce the amount going to landfill from the county.
