The Salvation Army in Chesterton had a community competition to make scarecrows. We decided to make 3 pot people so they could be planted up afterwards and used in the garden. For the competition we did each pot with recycling in mand and each one had a theme. Plastic bottles, Paper and plastic bags. The eco warriors enjoyed making them and are going to make more smaller ones to sell to our parents for the garden to raise funds for Hoglets and seeds for the garden gang.
We have had Hoglets who are a hedgehog charity visiting our school twice so far this year. Once in October and again recently in March. They visit every class in the school and do a lesson/game to inform our pupils about wild life. Not just hedgehogs. We have had owls, ferrets and hedgehogs visiting with them. The pupils love when they come and enjoy and learn so much about the wildlife in our area. They will be visiting again in June. We do a raffle everytime they come and the Eco Warriors raise much needed funds for the charity. We are also a designated area to release hedgehogs and have 2 houses for them. We have had 3 hedgehogs so far released in our grounds.
We did a litter pick with our local council and a Womble Orinoco. This will be 1 of 3 we will do through the year and we have requested a litter bin outside the school as our street has none. Like last year our Eco Warriors did a stirling job and the street was cleared.
Our Eco Warriors teamed up with the PSO's in the village to do a litter pick in the street just outside of the school. We monitored what rubbish we collected and found out that it was mostly drinks bottles, sweet papers and cans. So in our class dojo we reminded our families that around our school we have 4 litter bins and praised our warriors for their efforts. This we hope will give everyone a sense of community and pride.

The Eco Warriors at Garlinge Primary School and Nursery had a fantastic time taking part in their dig for the What's Under Your Feet? campaign and here are our results! :
Two classes on two different days have had the most fabulous time searching soil for anything that moved. Worms galore including millipede young and a horseback beetle. Measuring worms that wriggle so much was yet another highlight of this activity.
