The Green Team Mission

 

We are part of Better Planet Schools and follow a module each term to help guide us in the right direction when making planet friendly decisions.

Last term, we completed the model on Fast Fashion.  This term, we will look at Endangered Species.

Spring 2025

smileyLatest news: 

We are very excited that we have achieved our latest module certificate for our work on Fast Fashion.  See below for the Spring 2025 module report to find out what we did to raise awareness for clothing waste.

Somerset Gardens Trust Grant

We are so very grateful to the Somerset Gardens Trust for awarding us a grant to purchase new equipment to help maintain our garden area.  We were able to purchase the equipment necessary to start growing for spring.  Thank you.

Donations

We are very grateful to our amazing community for all of the donations we have received to get our garden up and running.

  • Our Spring uniform sale raised an amazing £43 which enabled us to get the beds half  filled with compost.

 

  • Blackdown Garden Centre have donated hundred of seeds and many bags of compost to help us get growing.

       

  • Izzy in Y6 has organised new tyres to help us get planting and Thamina in Y6 has donated some green fencing to help us grow our climbing plants up.

 

Better Planet Schools:

2023 - 24 

During 2023-24 the Green Team began a new project in the school grounds and involved the whole class too. 

 

We also became part of the Better Planet Schools project and completed our first module all about Nature and Biodiversity. 

 

Read the documents to find out what we did last year.

Our competition in school to design 4 murals is underway.  Each mural represents sharing joy and hope: at home, at school, in the community and across the world.

 

The murals were designed by Madeleine, Ava, David and Harley.
