In our Eco committee meeting, Miss Kershaw introduced the new campaign of ‘The Great Big School Clean’ launched by the Eco school’s website in support of keeping Britain tidy. This is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign which has returned for Spring 2025. The children learnt that this campaign is a fantastic opportunity for students to become active citizens, taking ownership over their local community and changing it for the better. We discussed the fact that no one is too small to make a big difference and if we all come together, that big difference becomes huge.
We spoke about how we can make a pledge for the Great Big School Clean 2025 which opens in February. We will then receive a digital pack of resources for teachers which contains: A ‘How to’ litter pick guide for schools, litter Bingo and thank you certificates for your #LitterHeroes.
We generated some ideas of how we could get involved and how we can keep our school community clean in support of this launch. Some ideas were:
-
An Eco committee litter pick (schools or local community)
-
Class litter picks
-
Some children wanted to pair up with a younger child to do litter picks in the community.
-
Eco monitors at play time to ensure fruit wasn’t going on the floor and the playground/school is clean.
