Wildflower seed planting

Today our eco team has been busy scattering native wildflower seeds around the school. The children learned about the importance of planting flowers native to the UK, and picked areas that they felt the flowers had a good chance of growing. 

We are very excited to see some beautiful flowers pop up over the summer!

Eco Team—Earth Hour

The St Catherine’s Eco-Team would like to invite you and your children to take part in Earth Hour on the 23rd March.

Earth hour asks you to take an hour out of your day to do something (anything!) positive for our planet. For example, you may decide to go litter picking in your local area, have an electronics free hour, have a family reading hour or play board games, work on an eco-project (like making bird feeders) or even do some stargazing.

We would love to hear about how you have spent your earth hour, so please share your experiences on seesaw or Tapestry! We realise that 8.30pm is a little late in the day, so any hour during the day given to help the planet would be great.

For more information and educational videos about Earth hour and the impact you can have on the planet, you can visit www.earthhour.org/about/the-biggest-hour-for-earth

Cut your Carbon Month

For the whole of November we invited all our St Catherine's pupils to take part in Cut Your Carbon Month! We had over 70 children share their work in trying to help cut their carbon emissions, which helped contribute to reducing our collective carbon footprint. Something for us all to be proud of! 

You can read more about the impact of the Cut Your Carbon initiative here CYC IMPACT REPORT 2023-24 (c-6.net)

We are now an eco-school! 

Thanks to all the work of our eco-team and also our school as a whole, we have successfully achieved eco-school status. This is a great achievement for everyone who has helped make our school a more eco-friendly place this past year. 

We are very excited about the new school year ahead, and for applying again next year with our new eco-team. We have some new fun eco-projects planned!
