Eco Council

We are the 'Ecko' Warriors! - The Eco Warriors of Eckington.

Our Eco Committee is made up of members from Year 1 to Year 5.

The Eco-Council’s role in school focuses on helping us to be more aware of our impact on the environment.

We help the school to look after our world, for example, by using less energy and reducing and recycling waste.

We regularly meet with Mrs Bishop to discuss ideas about how to make our school more Eco friendly and plan our projects.

We have achieved the Bronze Eco Award and are now working towards achieving the Silver Award.

Eco Council Recycling Worship

Mrs Bishop and her 'Ecko Warriors', planned and presented a fantastic assembly reminding us all about the importance of recycling and reusing. We reflected, thinking of how our world is full of beauty...full of animals...and trees...and plants...and great wide oceans. But it is fragile too and easily damaged. We discussed ways to keep our beautiful planet healthy and unpolluted, for the animals and plants and children of tomorrow.

So let's, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.

What an awesome bunch!!!

Mrs Bishop

Cllr Alex Sinton visited our school today.

Cllr Alex Sinton is Chairman of Wychavon District Council. He came to speak to our Eco Council to discuss how their views can help change the world and make a better future for us all.

We thank him for his time and I must say a well done to the children for representing our school so well. I felt very proud.

Counsellor Sinton presented the children with a Wychavon Eco Warrior Badge.

Go Ecko Warriors!

Mrs Bishop

Reduce the plastic!

The Eco Council wrote to Cool Milk to ask if they would think about changing the supply of milk from the individual plastic milk cartons to a larger carton to reduce the plastic waste and be kinder to the enviroment.

Our letter worked! Well done Eco Council.

Litter Ecko Warriors

Today, the children from Eckington become ‘litter warriors’ in an anti-litter fight.
We had a visit from the Litter Warrior Karen. The Little Litter Warriors program is designed to highlight community litter pollution. The children learned first-hand about their local environment and the impact litter has on the wildlife, marine life, and their community areas.
We had fun collecting and talking rubbish!

We even found a 50 year old glass bottle in the church yard! Maybe we should take it to the antiques road show???
