Our motto: small steps for a big impact 

Who are we? 

We are the Eco Ambassadors of Warren Primary School. We are here to prevent climate change, help our planet tackle global warming and make our school more environmentally friendly. We work as a team to achieve our goals and have got to work hard. This will improve our planet's health; it will also help our environment in our school and will help global warming over time. Our role at Warren is to help our local area, provide advice and plant new bushes and trees and pick up litter. We have lots of ideas like holding an Eco poster competition. These would be put up around school to help change people's minds about pollution. We want to inspire people to help the environment here at our school and in the community that surrounds it. Like our motto says, we want to encourage people to take small steps to create a big impact on the planet's future!

We will be providing regular updates on the school website about the great work we are doing, so keep checking back here!

Here are some quotes now that we have been running this project for two months:

"I like being an eco ambassador because even a small difference makes a big change and we are that small difference. You can be part of that small difference and together we can make one big difference." - SD

"It has been a lovely experience so far being an eco ambassador. I have learnt so much and enjoy sharing my knowledge both with the school and my family." - JW

 Update: 12th June 2024

We have had our first few meetings and decided to focus on what we can do in our school and at home to reduce electricity and water usage. We have carried out some research in our club, and been working together to produce an assembly to inform both staff and pupils about what can be done that are small steps that can have a big impact.

We have also launched our school grounds clear-up each day on a rota. We will be sharing our findings with others soon too, so that we can try to encourage others to change their habits.

We plan to link up with some other schools in our Trust so that we can share ideas for the good of the planet.

Check back in a couple of weeks to see the hard work that we have been doing towards our assembly!

Update: 26th June 2024

Today, we have delivered our first ever school assembly. Some of us were nervous and some of us were confident. We were excited to get our key messages across to the whole of key stage 2.

Here are some photos of us delivering this assembly and our powerpoint which we have worked incredibly hard on over the last month.

Some quotes from our pupils who listened to assembly:

"What I learnt from the assembly is that we need to save the environment. I didn't realise how long some materials take to disintegrate, like plastic. I liked that the assembly was delivered by children." - JB

"I learnt how pollution is caused by smoke from factories and how it affects the sea and the air." - TP

"The eco ambassadors were pretty brave to get up in front of everyone. It was good that the children put together the research and powerpoint.  It was good that they actually told us how to help the environment instead of just saying save electricity and nothing else. I liked the audience participation." - AG

Here is the result of our hard work from our assembly today... (It was all our own work)

Last week, we recorded our litter over the course of 2 days and this is what we found:

We shared our findings during the assembly and recognised that a lot of it was made from plastic materials that wasn't biodegradable. We discussed with the other children about how harmful it is for nature in particular.
