EcoSchools Case Studies To make use of an educational resource that had been created by students from the school to raise awareness of environmental issues in children at primary school age. The resource is a book called “the Adventures of Eco-Man” which promotes environmentally friendly themes in a way that is both accessible and relevant to young people. http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=39 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-08-02T00:00:00 Our Eco Club decided that they wanted to be as close to 100% waste free as possible – project involved whole school plus parents (waste free packed lunches) http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=33 Tue, 18 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-18T00:00:00 We wanted to extend pupil awareness of global cohesion and so focussed on finding out more about countries that shared similar lines of longitude as us – France, Spain and Ghana. Added to this we are learning about Unicef’s Right and Responsibilities of the Child and decided on 3 main topics – Water Term,  Food Term and Play Term. http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=34 Tue, 18 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-18T00:00:00 A core volunteer group of parents (including one school governor and one staff member) had already completed one large scale project – Tulley’s Garden, a sensory garden, for exploration and outdoor lessons. The children had been involved, in planting the herbs, and they have always regarded the garden as a very special place at Lutley. http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=35 Tue, 18 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-18T00:00:00 We registered onto the Eco School initiative in March 2007 with the aim of setting up an Eco Council who would strive to educate the school pupils and community on eco-related issues. As well as this we wanted all pupils to be as involved as possible in the decision-making and action. We had an holistic view of how we wanted to approach the 9 areas( we were already a Healthy School ) so we put together an Action Plan http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=36 Tue, 18 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-18T00:00:00 Our starting aims were to make use of an educational resource that had been created by students from the school to raise awareness of environmental issues in children at primary school age. The resource is a book called “the Adventures of Eco-Man” which promotes environmentally friendly themes in a way that is both accessible and relevant to young people http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=38 Tue, 18 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-18T00:00:00 Our aim was to save energy, and to find out how much we could save when the whole school was working towards the same goal.  To encourage pupils in the school to conserve energy throughout the winter months. To raise awareness amongst the pupils and staff of energy wastage, through implementing the Switch Off Fortnight Campaign and through Goodbye Standby http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=31 Tue, 11 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-11T00:00:00 After successfully addressing Waste Management and Energy projects, students on the Eco Team Committee were keen to address the issue of Bio Diversity within the school. As a result, the students decided that they would like to start a Gardening Club after school with the aim of turning a drab, little used, concrete area within the heart of our school building into a place of tranquil, respite and pleasure for all staff and students to share and enjoy. http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=32 Tue, 11 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-11T00:00:00 As a new school we decided that we were going to be aware of the amount of energy that the school uses and look at ways of being more eco-friendly and using less energy where possible. Initially, we looked at areas where we could have the biggest impact in a short period of time. http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=29 Mon, 10 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-10T00:00:00 Our school grounds are beautiful as we are a rural school in the heart of Kent countryside, but we did not feel that we were making the very most of them. We wanted to further develop our habitat environment and strengthen everyone’s contribution to our kitchen gardens. http://eco-schools.org.uk/case-studies/case-study.aspx?ID=30 Mon, 10 May 2010 01:00:00 +0100 2010-05-10T00:00:00 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://eco-schools.org.uk/rss/index.aspx?ID=CaseStudy Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT eco-schools@keepbritaintidy.org
