History of the womble shield • The Womble Shield was started at Robert Owen Primary over 20 years ago. • Groups of classes work together to help keep their playground, cloakroom and toilets clean and tidy.
Why is it called ‘the womble shield?’ • The Wombles are pointy-nosed, furry creatures that live in burrows, where they help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in useful and ingenious ways. • Wombles are very careful to keep themselves hidden from people whilst taking care of the environment around them. • Their motto is ‘Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish’
How can you help the wombles? • Make sure all rubbish goes inthe bin all of the time! • Reuse resources when possible • Hang up your coats and gyms bags in cloakroom • Always flush the toilet after use and put paper towels in the bin • Always leave your classroom/open area tidy • Volunteer as a litter picker for the playground
Eco schools green flag • Robert Owen achieved its first Green Eco Flag in September 2012 • Litter plays an important part- we must be a litter free school • We must look after our environment- just like The Wombles • Can you help keep our Green Flag?
