Our lunch waste matters!

Our lunch waste matters!

Above you can see our food waste from Tuesday's 'Fish burger'.

At the end of every lunch food not eaten from each year group is weighed.

We are keeping a running total each week to see which class(es) are the best eaters with the least amount of waste! 

So far Year 6 have had hardly any waste with Year 1 and R closely following! 

Its really important that when you're booking meals at home the children help out. Not only does the food get wasted, we are using excess electricity and gas to cook and we have children entering their afternoon lessons having not had a good meal!

Today it was 'Spanish chicken' and Year R had only 5grams of waste! Thats a 'pair of pants' for your class Mrs Salt!

Our focus for Eco School Award

brillslt on: Eco School

We focused on three topics – Healthy living, Waste and Biodiversity.

Here’s just a few of the things we did – grew our own veg and had a plant sale, we now recycle our food waste into biofuel at Westcott and compost our fruit waste in our frog composter, we wrote suggestions for our leaders at the time of Cop 26 and made our own commitments, we had a ‘ponderful’ pond making competition in our gardens over Easter, we planted oak trees we’d grown from acorns for the Jubilee, we made kites from plastic bags…..

Here’s some feedback from Eco Schools

 We love your democratic and fair approach to appointing Eco-Committee members.

It was really great to read how your Environmental Review provided the basis for the projects in your Action Plan. It demonstrates a reflective and considered approach to your Eco-Schools work.

The pupils are very creative! Your curriculum links were really clear and creative. They challenged pupils to think outside of the box and approached topics in a fresh and different way.

We are looking forward to developing this further and following up our children’s ideas next year.
