ECO School Committee
The Eco-Committee is steadily making our school a more environmentally friendly place. It has been running for just over a year now. In that time we have successfully gained our Eco-Schools Silver Award. Along with that we have completed half of our Millennium Garden including a plastic bottle greenhouse, a willow den, two large plant beds, and a compost area.
The other half is just past the design stage, and the three letters M A R are ready to build soon. The whole school researched plants for these letters. The M will be made from plants sourced from around the world that will grow in Midmar. The A will be made from sensory plants that we can smell, see, touch and taste. The R is on a Scottish theme.
Other additions are birdboxes, worm factories and green cones. We have also written a recycling policy, and an Eco Code. Children came up with slogans for areas we need to improve on.
