  6. Eco Club • Some of our Eco Action Targets have changed. These targets are now green. • Our Environmental Review poster is up for everyone to see. • Our results are now in for the Big Bird Watch • We have done our Litter Survey and presented results • One of our targets is to get every class to nominate an EM (Energy Monitor). The Eco Club did some designing and we joined a few great ideas to create one badge. • Every class will nominate one person to wear the badge to remind them and others to help reduce their energy waste in class. Wear your badge with pride and let’s not waste energy we don’t have to.

  10. Games Parliament The Games Parliament representatives discussed the ‘Quiet Area’ and all the other activities that are there now. This included the stage, dressing up clothes, chimes, drums and trees to climb. There are also plans to add a chalk board, wooden paths across the top of the tree stumps and hammocks between the trees. With all this going on they felt that the ‘Quiet Area’ was not the best name for this area. Can you think of another name? If you have any suggestions please put them on a post-it note along with your name and class and leave at reception. All entries must be in Friday 13 March. Classes will then be asked to vote on the suggestions to choose the new name.

This means that the ball court will be for P1, 2, 3 and 4’s from 8.45am until line up time. If you have any playground games that you think lots of children would like to play then the Games Parliament would like to hear from you. If you have any suggestions please speak to your GP Representative or Mr Balfour. All suggestions will be discussed at the next Games Parliament meeting.
