Pupils from Dolphins class at John Fielding Special School were delighted to win first prize at the Lincolnshire Show for their Eco-Friendly School project.
In front of an impressive display, the pupils presented to the judges all of the work they had undertaken for their project. This included:
- Researching about being eco-friendly
- Visiting Lion Plants to learn about growing vegetables
- Visiting the Sealife Centre to understand water pollution
- Welcoming a guest from Anglian Water to discuss how to save water
- Visiting PC World to learn about energy ratings
- Running a recycling charity shop that involved making and selling vases out of wine bottles, coral reef art work and t-shirt bags
- Taking empty bottles to the bottle bank
- Litter picking at school, the park and college
- Setting up a compost heap
- Buying recycling bins and containers for every class and putting up signs around school to turn taps and light switches off
- Cooking a vegetarian meal for the whole school
- Gardening and planting vegetables
- Planting bee friendly flowers and making a bee house
- Planning Earth Day for the whole school
- Saving batteries to recycle
And If that wasn’t enough, they also provided seed bombs to grow bee friendly flowers for all of the judges before fielding some testing questions.
