We are proud that Corrie Primary School has been awarded a Green Tree Schools Award. The Woodland Trust scheme encourages outdoor learning and inspires pupils about trees, woods and wildlife.
Through the award, the children take part in fun, practical projects while helping the environment and improving our grounds.
We are pleased that Corrie Primary School has been awarded the Schools for Nature certificate signed by Sir David Attenborough because our pupils have shown that we care about nature and wildlife.
This term, we are taking part in Duracell’s Big Battery Hunt, which is all about helping to make the planet a better place for us all to live in. We’re collecting used batteries and are calling on you to support us by sending your used batteries into school!
Children in Boost group have been been participating in the RSPB Wild Challenge. It gives the children the opportunity to help wildlife, explore nature and enjoy lots of wild, fun activities. The children have enjoyed the activities and have now been awarded the Bronze Award.
Children collected plastic bottle tops and then created their own ‘Flowers’ artwork to avoid the plastic entering the oceans.
Year 5 have been taking part in an eco/art project called ‘Keen to be Green’. They have worked with artist, Sam Owen Hall, and used recycled materials to create tree sculptures. The focus of the project was to take rubbish and transform it into something beautiful that looks like it belongs to nature. We think the outcomes look beautiful!
Did you know that lids from plastic bottles and milk bottles are not recyclable?
Please collect any bottle lids and bring them into school. Eco club are going to try and create an art project using them.
The Big Battery Hunt is returning to Corrie. We’re really focusing on helping the environment at Corrie Primary and want to help in any way we can. We have joined the national schools partnership initiative to collect used batteries and send them off for recycling. There is also the opportunity to win lots of great prizes.
Each school that books a collection for their batteries will be automatically entered into the Big Battery Hunt prize draw. By helping us to recycle as many batteries as possible our school could win:
Stop littering!
I am a little litter bin,
If I am empty then I am sad,
Only when you fill me up, do I get really glad.
So when you have some rubbish,
Don’t throw it on the floor.
Feed it to me quickly,
Then go and get me some more!
Tree planting last half term was a huge success! Every class in the school came out in force with their teachers to plant more trees around our school. The trees are making great progress and are battling hard against the very cold weather we’ve been having. Next the Eco team plan to grow some wild flowers in our school grounds too.
