The Eco Team made recycled presents this year for Christmas showing how you can reuse items at this time of year!  We used old glass jars from coffee or jam and painted them with glass paints.  We think they make great candle holders or sweetie jars and can be reused year after year.

Let me introduce to you the brand new Sudley Eco Team:

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

by Anna Huxford

Glass, card, tin
Put it in the bin
Animals yelp
And you can help
Put your litter in the bin
If it tastes bitter
It is litter
Put your dustbin on a diet, try it
Why not start today?
Think before you throw away
Charities are crying
While you keep buying
So…
Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Recycle, Recycle

by Daniel Kiiver

R ecycle, recycle, you know what to do
E very day there’s rubbish so we’re relying on you
C ans, tins and jars, you can all recycle those
Y ou’re making lots of mess that tickles your toes
C ard, bottles and paper, recycle them too
L ots of people are helping , one of them might be you
E nd your life recycling, so recycle today.

Recycle Your Litter

 by Olivia Christian

Recycle your litter
don’t throw it away

It dirties the city
and wastes energy too!

So think of a way
to use something again.

This will help save the planet
and the creatures who live on it.

So change our environment
recycle, reuse, reduce.

Save Our Planet

by Daniel Meade

Save or planet is what i say,
So recycle stuff every day,
Please will you do it, it really helps the Earth,
It makes your life more full of worth.
Dont throw stuff in the bin,
Example – it is easy to recycle a tin.
Junk can get you hurt,
So take care and be alert.
Thank you for listening to me,
So watch out and be as careful as can be.

It’s as simple as the flick of a switch.

On Saturday 28 March 2009 at 8.30pm, people, businesses and iconic buildings around the world will switch off their lights for an hour – WWF’s Earth Hour.

Sudley is asking you to participate. Will you switch off your lights for an hour on this day?

Climate change is one of the most serious threats facing the people and wildlife of this planet. We all have a role to play reducing this threat.

Comment below if you are taking part in the WWF Earth hour or if you are making a change to help save energy.

It would be great to read your ideas.

Thanks so much!

Thanks to everyone who has supported the Jewellery Recycling we have been running this week. The response so far has been good, but for whose who haven’t had a chance to look out something yet, there’s still time.

Remember whoever returns donated jewellery will be entered into a draw to win an MP3 Player.

Please send your envelopes back by 13th March.

Alex and Maya love being in the Eco-Team! We think it’s a great way to help the environment and it’s great fun too!

Why don’t you try to do something to help the environment like: recyling at home and school, using the three r’s(reduce, reuse, recycle) turn off any electrical equipment ect.

leave any comments below.

Alex and Maya!

Sudley Junior are supporting this year’s Woodland Trust Christmas card appeal.

We are inviting you to collect Christmas cards as part of our support for the Woodland Trust’s annual Christmas Card Recycling Scheme.

Each New Year cards recycled in the scheme generate funds which pay for the Woodland Trust to plant thousands of trees across the UK.

Last year, Woodland Trust supporters collected 73.6 million Christmas cards nationwide which enabled 17,000 trees to be planted, across the UK.

Please send your Christmas cards into school or take them to your local branch of WHSmith, Tesco, TKMax or Marks and Spencer to make a difference.
