Throughout November, we are inviting all our children and families to take part in 9 simple eco-friendly challenges to help us make a positive difference to the environment.

As part of our journey towards achieving our Eco-Schools Award, we are encouraging everyone to think about small changes we can make in our everyday lives to become more environmentally friendly.

Please take a look at the attached checklist and see how many of the challenges you can complete throughout the month of November!

At the end of the month, we will share a short survey for families to complete. This will allow us to officially record how many children have taken part in the challenges.

🌿 Let's work together to reduce our carbon emissions and help our school become one of the top-performing schools in the Cut Your Carbon challenge!

Thank you, as always, for your enthusiasm and support. Every little action makes a difference! 💚

Old Park rounded off a busy half term with the annual Spooktacular Halloween Disco 🎃 The children looked amazing (if a little frightening!) in their costumes and had a fabulous time. Big shout out to Inflatable Dreams for their kind donation of the incredible balloon arch which set the scene perfectly. Thank you!
Happy half term to you all!

The Eco Committee held their first session during yesterday’s Exploration Day. Working with Miss Batty, the children carried out an environmental audit of the school and identified three key areas to focus on to improve sustainability: Energy, Biodiversity and Litter.

As a first step, the committee placed reminder stickers around the school to encourage everyone to switch off lights when they are not in use. They also added red, yellow and green stickers to switches and sockets to help everyone identify which can and cannot be safely switched off.

To support these efforts, each class will appoint an Energy Monitor, who will take responsibility for ensuring that lights and appropriate switches are turned off when not needed.

The Eco Committee will now share their findings and plans with the wider school community during an assembly, encouraging everyone to play their part in making our school more sustainable.
