Le Page Green Team
Are you passionate about transforming our school into an eco-friendly, clean and sustainable place? Do you enjoy gardening, crafting with nature materials, recycling, and growing your own seeds and plants? Do you have a great idea how we could make our school a greener place for students, staff and wildlife?
We hope to see you Wednesday!
Green Team News
Hi Everyone, Green Team has been busy, busy, busy! Our Chickens have settled in beautifully and are starting to lay their first eggs. The eggs are still relatively small, but our hens still have some growing to do. We should start seeing regular-sized eggs appearing over the next 3-4 weeks.
We would love it if families could start collecting empty egg cartons and donating them to the school. Please pass any empty egg cartons along to Ms Kelli or Ms Anna.
A big thank you to all of our Green Team student leaders for helping to keep the chicken coop clean and tidy, and making sure that our girls always have fresh water and feed available to them. Who would have thought that being on poop patrol could be so much fun!
Chicken Naming Competition
The names are coming in thick and fast but you still have time to add your preferred chicken name to the list. We will announce the winning entries at Assembly on Friday March 31st. Don’t forget a gold coin donation, and drop your completed entry form into the tubs at the Front Office. All proceeds raised will go towards the upkeep of our lovely new hens.
Wonder Recycling Rewards
Do you want to help our planet by recycling soft plastics and get free sports equipment for our school along the way?? Of course you do…
We are very excited to announce that we will be again joining the Wonder Recycling Rewards Program in 2023. Last year, our soft plastic recycling raised enough points for us to get some free sports equipment for our wonderful school. Let’s see if we can get even more points this year and get even more free sports equipment.
The recycling program begins in Term 2, and we will have further information about the program over the coming weeks.
Remember to join us for Garden Club from 12.30pm on Mondays (2nd half of lunch) and for Green Team at lunch on Wednesdays! See you then
This week, Green Team has been working on phase one of our worm farm project. We have added our SubPod worm farm to one of our garden beds and planted some herbs around it. The SubPod was sourced through the ‘Buy Nothing Cheltenham’ facebook group. In phase two, we will add our worms. This is another great project that helps Green Team to reuse, reduce and recycle as much as we can.
Have a great week!
Ms Kelli and Ms Anna
