Fressingfield Litter Pick

Eco Group has finally managed to borrow some ‘grabbers’ and members have been around the school litter picking. Everybody found it great fun, and fascinating when we analysed our findings. 

With the help of some of the older children, we grouped the categories of litter, and tallied up our data. And we have now found that we’ve raised more issues than we have answered! 

 We have 3 main issues to put to pupil voice assembly. Here they are: firstly, bearing in mind over 100 pieces of litter came from the plastic pom-poms for playtime, what do we want to do about this? As you can see from some of our pictures, there is so much plastic from these toys that some birds have actually used it in one of their nests! Secondly, a critical place for litter is near the guinea pigs. We need to deal with this, to make sure we keep our pets clean and safe; thirdly, we found some materials which should have been composted. Are all our classes remembering to use their composting bins?  

We will be discussing these issues over the next few weeks during pupil voice assembly.
