Eco Conference - Eco Warriors
Our Year 2 children will be taking part in an Eco Conference with the other schools in Marlow on Monday.
All the schools have made pledges for the priorities that they will be working on over the next academic year. Ours are:
- Reduce car journeys
- Rewilding school grounds
- Green purchasing
- Sustainable lunchtimes
- Reduce Water Usage
In addition to this, each school has proposed a project (Eco Priority) that they would like the schools to all work on together. Our Eco Warriors have proposed working on developing solar energy for all of the schools.
The conference will involve the children watching a film which has been made by members of the local community's Eco Groups who will outline details of some of the proposed Eco Priorities. The children will then debate the benefits of the different Priorities and will vote to decide the final option. In the afternoon our Year 2 Eco Warriors will attend a zoom debate with other Eco representatives from other schools, and they will make the final decision on the schools' Priority.
We will, of course let you know the final result and all the children will be bringing home a 'Sustainable Me' poster to give you lots of ideas on how to live in a more sustainable way.
