Eco Club Update

We have a busy couple of months!

We had a recycling assembly for the whole school, and were visited by Sammy the Seagull, who helped us decide what items to recycle and which bag to put them in.

 

 

 

 

 

We encouraged the whole school to get involved with the Big School Spring Clean, and every class did a litter pick in or around the school.

The Eco Club wanted to take it one step further and so we did a Beach Clean, the children were amazed at the amount of plastic litter and micro plastics that they found on the Beach.

We attended an Eco Brick workshop in the National Waterfront Museum, and will share what we have learnt with the rest of the classes.

We now collect empty crisp packets for recycling, as well as batteries and writing implements.

All our events have spurred us on to do a Plastic Free Day in School. Children were invited to choose reusable alternatives to single use plastic in their lunchboxes, and we had the school milk delivered in glass milk bottles, instead of the plastic containers.

The Eco Club was interviewed by Bay TV about our Plastic Free Day, and what the school is doing to encourage pupils and staff to Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

 

 

"Most fun idea 2018"

You might remember that last year Enterprise Troopers sold products that had been made and designed by each of our classes, in a market in Castle Gardens in Swansea City Centre. 

Following on from this, we then displayed a stand at the Waterfront Museum and gave a presentation to the project leaders. We are pleased to announce that everyone thought that we did a fantastic job and we won the prize for the ‘most fun idea 2018’.

 

Area Final

I am excited to report that our Cross Country team completed their final qualifying match on Monday. Conditions were a little wetter this time, but I was so proud of how they competed and showed resilience in fighting all the way to the finish line.

As a result, Lili (2nd in Race 1) and Blake ( 3 wins out of 3)  had already qualified for the Area Final courtesy of their individual performances. But thanks to their hard work as a TEAM, I am pleased to say that both the Boys and the Girls Teams have qualified for the Area final on 29th March. Not bad in our first year of training!

Congratulations and Well done Team Brynmill!
