St Peters Eco Club

St Peters Eco Club has been running for a few months now and in that time we have participated in many projects.

• We planted 50 saplings on Green Britain Day and had the privilege of the Gloucester MP, Richard Graham visit up and plant one of our oak tree saplings.

• We took part in the National Recycle Week Competition and recycled our old electrical appliances.

• We were also lucky enough to get the chance to visit Hinkley Nuclear Power Station to find out how electricity is generated.

We are planning to do many more projects this year and have some great ideas that we want to put in place. We are planning to create a wildlife garden and pond, put up bird feeders and encourage energy saving in the school with the help of our new energy monitor. We are also planting 30 more trees after winning a tree planting pack with the Active Kids Sainsbury’s vouchers.

We are holding a ‘Wear your wellies for wildlife’ day on Tuesday 21st December, in aid of the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. By taking part in this we will gain a year’s free membership to the wildlife trust, which will be very useful for Eco Club. Pupils will be able to wear their wellies to school for the day in exchange for donating 50p, which will be used by the wildlife trust to protect local wildlife.
