Eco Committee / Eco Pwyllgor 2018 - 2019

The Eco Committee have been working hard to plant bulbs and wildflower seeds, we hope that these will encourage more insects onto our school grounds.  Thank you to Mrs Greener for helping the members of the committee.

Bird Feeder Competition

A big thank you to all pupils who participated in the bird feeder competition.  The Eco Committee have judged the entries and we will announce the winners in assembly soon.  We were overwhelmed by the number and quality of entries which were really creative - thank you!

We will place the feeders within the school grounds during the next few weeks and hopefully encourage more birds onto the school site.

Diolch yn fawr!

Thank you for all of your efforts, the pupils have been awarded a prize and we will be placing the bird feeders around our school grounds during the next few weeks. 

The Eco Committee have been working hard to put the winning bird feeders out in the school grounds with the help of Mr Davies.  We hope that you like the photographs.  

We have counted the number of birds on the school grounds at the front and back of the school, the results are shown in the two graphs below.  We will count the birds again in a few week's time once we have put our bird feeders outside. 

29th March 2019

We have been outside to carry out our first 'bird count' since the bird feeder competition.  We counted 22 birds in total today.  Last time we counted the birds we found 25.  

Even though we counted less birds there is evidence that birds have been using the feeders as there is less seed in them than when they were put out. 

We will carry out a re-count next week, perhaps at a different time of day to see if we can find evidence of more birds.  Fingers crossed! 

The top two graphs below show the count after the bird feeders were put out and the bottom two show the results of our first count. 

The following information relates to last year's main target which was to reduce the amount of litter around our school grounds.  You will be able to look at some photographs which show our Eco Committee collecting litter with a representative from Keep Wales Tidy, some of our winning litter posters and a graph to show how much waste was collected in June. Diolch.
