Maths:  By turning off lights and technology, and keeping a chart we have saved the school £45 a week in energy bills.

Science: We started a garden and put the kids in charge of growing their own vegetables, which we now use in the school canteen; saving the school around £30 a week in food costs, and reducing our food miles and carbon footprint.

English and Art: The kids have been making posters about what we’re doing, and we’re now running an award for the best one.

Drama: We put on a play about being eco friendly, at the school fete, and raised enough money to buy a solar panel for the school. We’re going to use it to power one of our temporary classrooms.

It’s simple things, but the results have been amazing and I’ve been so inspired by the enthusiasm of the children. It’s a good sign if they are the generation of the future, as they might care more about our planet than we do.
