The Ecology Group

As you know we have established an Ecology group in the school. Here are the minutes of our latest meeting:

Suggestions for future focus:

1. An ecology day. Looking at www.recyclezone.org.uk for activities and at activities done on Wangari Maathai day: making ashtrays out of cans, making wallets out of comics, making soap out of old oil, etc.

2. Organise a visit to a recycling centre or to a natural park like Valsain, Boca del Asno.

3. Presentations for other students: primary, the family, other families, with activities. Maybe using video to create little spots like pro-ecology advertising campaigns.

4. Make the display a bit more exciting.

5. Organise for waste paper collection in the classes and get in contact with Pozuelo to arrange waste paper collection with skips in the playground and proper wastepaper containers in the classroom.

6. All members of the group were asked to look at the recycle website and come up with feedback and suggestions for next week’s lesson.

· SBA said that he would have the blog site up and running by next week.

· TBE agreed to take minutes of future meetings and we would put them on the blog until the meetings were established and a /various students could take over.
