Eco Warriors
Welcome to our Eco-Warriors Blog! Take a look at the latest updates below…
We are Clarendon’s Eco Warriors and our aim is to work towards a more Eco friendly school. We have one representatives from each year from year 1 to year 6 and we attend a meeting each week. As a team, we discuss ways of improving our school to make it more Eco friendly and we take our role very seriously. We help others to understand that we all play a part in the role of making our school more sustainable. We feedback suggestions made by other children, staff and governors in school so that we can all contribute in suggesting ways of improving our environment.
Bobby Heywood Park Litter Pick
This week, as part of Earth Day, we joined forces with other local schools in Bolton to take part in a litter pick at Bobby Heywood Park, which is next to our school. Lots of our families like to enjoy spending time in the park, but sadly there is sometimes a lot of litter. We spent time litter picking and managed to fill a massive 15 bags of rubbish!
Food Waste Recycling
We are working hard to reduce landfill waste in school. As part of this, we have a new food waste recycling bin on our playground. Members of ECO Warriors are monitors to ensure children are correctly recycling
New Litter Picking Equipment
We contacted Bolton Council as we needed new litter picking equipment. They kindly gave us lots of new litter pickers, bin bags and bag holders and we have already been busy using them to keep our school and the local community clean and tidy!
Presenting our vision
Members of ECO Warriors led an assembly for the children and staff. They outlined their vision and goals for the year and shared what they had achieved so far.
Houses of Parliament
ECO Warriors, School Council and Miss Fedtschyschak were invited to visit the Houses of Parliament in London with other local schools. We travelled on the train and tube and had a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament as well as a walking tour of London. We learnt about how issues are discussed and decided in our country.
School Book Fair
We helped Miss Mallett out at our school book fair this week, suggesting books for families to buy and helping to keep the books tidy.
This week, ECO Warriors spent some time collecting litter around school. We found litter on the playground, which we picked up. We also found some plastic bottles, which we recycled
ECO Warriors led a school assembly and taught all the children about school budgets, where money comes from and how it is spent.
We sent out a survey to staff and analysed the results. They asked us for a recycling bin in school to recycle plastic bottles and cans and we made it happen!
Mrs Coldwell asked for a paper recycling bin in the technology room and we provided her with one 
Members of the ECO Warriors met with Mrs Chatterjee- our Head Teacher- and Mrs Cummins- our Business Manager to discuss all things budget. We learnt about how much energy we use, the positive impact of having solar panels, how money is spent in school and how we can work towards saving more money.
ECO Warriors met with the staff to share their ECO vision and code and to update them on what they have been doing.
As a team, we designed an ECO Savers of the Week Award. The class who have been the most ECO friendly for that week, win the award.
Each day, we go to each class to check that they are saving energy by turning off lights and screens and recylcing correctly. We record it using this log.
