Too long has passed again without updating the blog. We have been really busy this month with eco club finishing off the last few things on our action plan. This month has seen the appointment of our new Eco Action Team who will meet next week to begin work on the new Eco Action Plan. This will give us a new set of objectives to aim towards.
March has so far seen the Bird and Bat boxes finally installed in trees around our grounds. We were joined that day by our local tree wardens who did the climbing and dangerous bits for us, many thanks to them. In the allotment things have started to grow with broad beans springing up and the garlic coming on well. We now have lots of things planted ready for the warmth of Spring to arrive! The pond has also seen a good clear out thanks to our pond expert Greg Thurlow, many thanks to him as he has now removed the green algae that has built up due to the messing about with the swale system that feeds it by the school developers. Yellow Flag (iris) has now been planted in the pond to help minimise the effects of nitrates in the pond. Inside the building our drive to become a fairtrade school is gathering pace with events like the year 8 enterprise day which had Fairtrade and sustainability as its theme. We are also pushing forwards with our recycling initiatives which along with energy saving will be up for discussion next week by the Eco Action Team.
