students wanted to spend more time investigating some of the suggestions that had been put forward from the previous week. They organised themselves into groups:Funding - James and Sam both spent time looking into what grants and funds were available to apply to, to help us establish some of the schemes and ideas that have been discussed e.g. solar cells.
Fair trade - Joanne and Andrew spent their time investigating what we would need to do to become a fair trade school.
Wildlife and Bird Garden - Zoya and Anjali both looked into somewhere within the schools grounds where we could establish a garden. They went to speak to Mr Penkitt to see if this is something that DT would be happy to support.
Eco Fairies - Joanne, Zoya, Harsimrat and Oliver all volunteered to stay behind late after school to become eco-fairies (more to be revealed later).
Swap Shop - the rest of the students discussed the viability of introducing a 'swap shop' where students could bring items in that they no longer wanted/needed and swap them with other people. The idea is that we reduce the amount of things that we throw away and recycle more instead.
Updates to be provided at the next meeting.
