Laudato Si Council

St Clare's Eco Council

At St Clare's RC Primary School, each class have voted for two members of their class to represent them as part of the Laudato Si Council! The council will be meeting twice every half term where they will be taking part in activities that will support and benefit our local environment! These will be ranging from: writing letters to the local MP about ecological issues that we face in our local community to supporting and maintaining the growth of flowers in our school's flower beds.

Over previous years, the school have implemented new recycling bins around the school to support the reducing of waste in order to help save our planet!

Keep coming back to this page to see what the Laudato Si Council get up to as they progress throughout the course of the year!

 

Our Year So Far...

We started the year by meeting for the first time as a council and creating guidelines of what we want St Clare’s to look like from an eco-perspective. We created an eco-code which included things such as:

• Leading by example – Act in an eco-friendly way by switching of lights in classrooms and supporting recycling in our classes.
• Taking Responsibility – Completing eco-friendly tasks as a team and use our green fingers to promote growth and life around St Clare's.
• Share Knowledge – Learn about different environmental issues and share our knowledge with a wider community.

 

Autumn/Winter

As Autumn sets in and Winter heads our way, we made our way outside into the Key Stage One Playground. Here, we worked as a team to weed and remove overgrowth from the flower beds and planted new, fresh bulbs so they are ready to grow and thrive when Spring arrives. This work also helped us achieve an award! We applied for, and achieved, the Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 awards from the Royal Horticulture Society!

Spring

Big British Clean

As Spring began, the Laudato Si council took part in the Great British Spring Clean! We went around our local community and litter picked, helping to support our local area and environment in making it a cleaner, tidier place for all that live here!
