Meeting Minutes

Monday 2nd February 2026

Our meeting today discussed next steps for our plans. We heard from children who were keen to be our nominated Litter Monitors. We have also organised a second hand uniform and second hand book sale for March. Our next meeting will involve doing a school grounds survey and deciding on what we need to do to improve our biodiversity. 

Thursday 8th January 2026

We met today to practise our assembly and finalise what we want to say. We have decided to do the RSPB School Birdwatch, so have shared that information in assembly. We are excited about speaking to the school and sharing our Eco Code.

Tuesday 9th December 2025

Today we have worked hard to finish our Action Plan and Eco Code! We have set actions and targets for each area of Biodiversity, School Grounds and Litter. We then wrote our Eco Code, thinking carefully about the important things we can all do to be more environmentally friendly and thoughtful.

Tuesday 25th November 2025

We have worked hard to make progress on our Action Plan and have lots of ideas for how to improve the school grounds and biodiversity. We have decided that we would like to raise money for a hedgehog charity, as hedgehogs are now endangered. Next time we meet we will finish our Action Plan and work on our Eco Code. Esmae and Poppy shared ideas they had worked on at home for Eco Committee as well. 

Tuesday 11th November 2025

Today we finished our Environmental Review. We looked through the whole document and noticed positives and negatives. We discussed each area and decided on our three focus strands for this year: Biodiversity, School Grounds and Litter. We feel we can make lots of positive changes in these areas and are looking forward to writing our Action Plan.

Tuesday 21st October 2025

We held our first meeting today! We talked about how the Environmental Review works and how that leads to an Action Plan. We then began reviewing the first 5 strands of the Environmental Review. 

September 2025

Mrs Barnes and Mrs Scovell led an assembly to explain about Eco Schools and forming an Eco Committee. Children then went away and wrote a speech about why they want to be an Eco Warrior! Classes then voted and our Eco team were elected. Children loved receiving their special Eco Warrior badges in Celebration Assembly.

We worked hard putting together our assembly and practising our lines. During the assembly, we shared our three chosen strands for this year. We also shared our Eco Code and then two projects coming up - Litter Monitors and the RSPB School Birdwatch. We were very nervous but spoke so well!
