Bronze Eco-School Award


Eco-School AwardPupils at Priory School, Lewes, have taken their first steps to make their schools more environmentally friendly. Priory Eco Group (PEG) have pledged to cut down their litter and count the amount of electric and water they use at the school. They were guided by a representative from Green up your act Education, a Sussex based organization which advises schools on how to make energy improvements.

Pupils were shown how to make wallets from Tetra-packs and a bike linked to a small generator was used to demonstrate how much energy is needed to power a light bulb. They drew up plans for future energy-saving projects and were awarded a bronze award for their effects.

Green Up Your Act has helped gain a Silver Eco Schools award for St Mary Magdalene’s school by building a Bug Hotel.

Eco Club is  great opportunity for students to develop an interest in all things green. Activities such as increasing biodiversity by making habitats, growing seasonal vegetables to take home and craft recycling is all part of being an Eco club member.

 ”We went outside to look around the Garden. Mr Hunton filled us in with some of his ideas for later club meetings, these were:

* Planting garlic and leeks over winter in the raised beds.

* Making recycled bird feeders.

* Designing and making the Eco Club notice board.

* Moving the bug hotel and making it habitable for lots of insects and bugs.
