C.K.J.S and Eco Schools
At C.K.J.S we have always been interested in the
environment. In 1999 we worked hard to transform
a dumping ground into a nature reserve. Many
people helped and had a lot of fun at the same
time!
5
The pond area in November 1999.
Thanks to the efforts of governors, teachers and
parents, the pond was excavated in just one day!
6
Environment Club worked on some designs
7
The ideas were turned into plans. Some Y6
children helped to survey the area
8
Teachers looked at how we could use the Nature
Reserve in different subjects
9
We are proud of our Nature Reserve and especially
like pond dipping
10
We even won an important award!
11
A long term commitment

• We think that looking after the world we live in
  is very important and will keep on finding ways
  to improve.
• We are very proud of our achievements and hope
  that the people of Charlton Kings will enjoy
  sharing in our progress!

Eco Schools Our Learning

• Eco schools is a whole school project.
• Eco thinking and learning pops up everywhere-it
  might in science, mathematics, literacy,
  geography, design and technology or citizenship!

13
Eco Learning- just some examples

• Science
• In Y4 we explore the conditions necessary for
  plant growth. We make the compost, research and
  select the plants, manage the garden and serve up
  the produce! The theme for this year is healthy
  pizzas and we hope to bake the bases in a solar
  oven. Of course there also the many and varied
  ecological aspectsand so the list goes on.
• Maths
• Projects provide us with a wealth of live data
  handling and investigative material for use
  across the school. E.g. Monitoring the core
  temperature of the compost heap, investigating
  which is the most common non recyclable item, how
  many miles does the school community cover by
  bicycle.the list is endless.

• Literacy
• Making information books, instructional texts,
  research skills, persuasive texts, poetry, story
  writing-again, the list is endless.
• Design and technology
• Designing and making habitats, designing planting
  schemes, constructing bird boxes..
• Citizenship
• Conserving water, subsistence farming, fair
  trade, community projects, voluntarism.
• Geography
• Orienteering and map making, environmental
  auditing, Comenius Project links.
• Local History
• Finding out about the history of the local land
  use. What was here before the school?

How do we know what is going on?

• The Eco Committee works alongside the School
  Council ( find out about the members on the Eco
  Board) Ideas and projects are discussed at
  meetings
• There are also year group and class
  representatives who help make the project work
  throughout the school
• The project is regularly discussed in whole
  school assemblies when questions about Eco
  projects are asked. Ideas and follow up
  activities can then be reported to the Eco
  committee via class/year group representatives.

Eco Schools Challenge Groups Children working
in the various challenge groups are getting grips
with Eco-thinking! Here are some challenges that
have been offered up..
22
Eco Schools Challenge Groups Y3/4 Design the
ideal garden for attracting and providing for
wildlife. Think about features and planting
schemes. This could be presented in a format
which allows people to see ways in which they
could make their own gardens more wildlife
friendly. Eco Audit of School Boundary Measure
out the school boundary. What proportion
is- hedge row Railings Fencing Trees Can you find
an interesting way of communicating this
information? Local History What was here before
the school was built? What was the land used for?
How can you find out?
23
Y5/6 Eco Audit Of School Grounds (Land
Use) Using a map of the school and grounds (ask
Mr Fisher), make a visual representation (pie
chart?) to show the relative proportions of area
taken up by- car park play grounds field nature
reserve kitchen garden the school
building swimming pool area This could be done by
applying a grid to the whole area. Map an area
using simple triangulation Select an area (e.g.
kitchen garden) and use two long tape measures to
collect data. Using a suitable scale plot the
data using a compass for intersecting lines. Do a
simple level survey using a DIY laser spirit
level with tripod (ask Mr Fisher). This sounds
more complicated than it is! Cycling Data Find
the total distance cycled by the school community
(children parents teachers) in a week/year.
How would you go about this? What could you do
with this data? How much carbon offset?

Our First Eco Audit Autumn 2004
25
The First Audit

• In 2004 our very first Eco Committee was elected.
  An Eco Audit was started-this helped us to see
  how kind to the environment we are at C.K.J.S!
• We looked at litter, energy use, recycling, water
  usage, the school grounds, transport to and from
  school and healthy living.
• We used this information to make our first Eco
  Action Plan

26
CKJS ECO-SCHOOLS ACTION PLAN REVIEW

• How well have we met the targets of our first
  Action Plan

USING ENERGY

• Turn off lights in empty rooms
• Make sure lights are low energy
• Make sure that equipment is switched off when not
  in use
• Make sure that outside doors are not left open.
  Self closing doors ?
• Make sure that draughts are minimised
• Make sure that radiators can work as efficiently
  as possible

31
A solar panel provides lighting for an out
building

time we have taken part in the water carrying
challenge
39
Y4 visit to Sewage Treatment Works

• For the second year running Y4 will making a
  visit to the Hayden Sewage treatment plant. This
  is a fascinating trip and highlights the need for
  conserving water supplies, dispelling the myth
  that clean water is a limitless resource.
• This plant is a state- of the- art facility and
  treats the effluent from Charlton kings.

40
Getting to and from school

• Have a go at Miles For Mountains
• Get more children walking to school
• Take part in the SUSTRANS Safe Routes To School
  project to see how children do actually travel to
  school
• Cycle training for more year groups
• Provide better bike storage during the school day

41
Staff Cycle To Work
Despite the LEA choosing not to take part in the
National Cycle To Work Scheme (and there was me
thinking that this was a Government
initiative!?), a number of staff cycle to school
on a daily basis.

The Amphitheatre Spring-Summer 2005 This was a
special project and the children played a big
part in the design and setting out
55
Y4 used Flexicad to draw up their ideas
56
George Hannis made a 3D model of a stand
57
There was a special maths challenge to design a
method for setting out the post holes. We chose
the best method and set the positions for the
holes . They were spot on!
58
Surveying Roman Style- Using A Groma
59
The cleared turf is used to construct the bank
The posts are set in the positions we worked out!
60
Checking progress-we had already calculated how
many children would fit into each stand
The off cuts are used to make up the entrance deck
61
The gravel was re used from another project The
design was kept simple- it will be an easy task
to replace timbers (we made sure that they come
from a sustainably managed source)
62
Some children have been researching different
herbs for planting around the amphitheatre
63

The herb and kitchen garden are planted along
with a willow hoop screen

64
Posters were designed to encourage different uses
for the amphitheatre

Eco Schools Action Plan 2008

• We are proud of our achievements so far but we
  are always looking for ways to improve.
• The areas that we feel need looking at include
• Litter
• Re use versus Re cycle
• Energy use
• Ecology in the school grounds
• Growing a wider range of vegetables

Points for action/success criteria are highlighted
76
Eco Schools at the heart of school life

• It is important that Eco Schools plays central
  role in school life-we only have one planet!
• There will be more opportunities for everyone to
  take part

Learning about protecting water supplies
77
There will be more fun maths
When we designed the dipping platform, one Y4
maths group worked out how much wood we would
need! We will be taking a lot of different
measurements and handling a lot data in the
coming months.
78
There will be more outdoor projects! We will be
working on the Kitchen Garden and Nature Reserve
79
Okay, so what exactly will we be up to in the
coming months? The Eco Committee have been
coming up with some ideas! You can read about
them in the next few pages
80
Litter

• Litter continues to be a problem in and
  around the school site. It is unfortunate that
  the high fences and boundary hedges surrounding
  the school tend to trap litter. Much of this
  litter is blown into our grounds from the
  secondary school next door and from elsewhere.
  Much of this litter finds its way into the school
  nature area. As a school we are concerned about
  the threat to wildlife.

81
Action Plan For Litter

• Maintain and increase litter patrols. Keep
  records for litter collected.
• Devise a litter awareness campaign with
  posters to be displayed around the village and
  secondary school.
• Measure how successful the campaign is by
  looking to see if the amount of litter collected
  drops.

82
Re use versus Re cycle

• We have been thinking about re cycling.
  Sometimes we talk about re cycling when we
  actually mean to say that we are re using.
• Re cycling is expensive and uses a lot of
  energy. We need to think carefully about when we
  re cycle and when we re use.

83
Re use versus Re cycle Action plan

• Eco committee to look closely at when we re use
  and re cycle.
• We will be concentrating on paper and card
• The Eco committee will appoint class monitors to
  make jotters (using re usable tags) to ensure
  that both sides of paper sheets are used before
  recycling.
• If we can re use paper/card more often then our
  re cycling bags ought to be noticeably less full.

84
Reducing

• We are concerned about how much paper is wasted
  in school
• Eco committee to work out how much paper is
  used in communicating with parents then make a
  case for using electronic mail/notice boards etc.
• How many more parents can we get to sign up for
  email bulletins ?

85
Reducing Packaging
Some recent school trips have highlighted for us
the importance of reducing packaging. We have
seen that it is often unnecessary and very
wasteful. On two of our trips last year the
children were asked to prepare low- waste packed
lunches. The individual classes taking part
competed against one another and also against
classes from other schools. The children would
like to extend this to school. The non-
compostable and non recyclable waste from each
class will be collected and analysed as part of a
data collection exercise- e.g. which are the most
common non recyclable items? How can our findings
help us to address the problem? The eco committee
will organise this with the help of the school
council and house representatives. We have begun
a pilot weekly challenge in 4F and 6R that we
plan to roll out across the school. The
class/year group which produces the least amount
of non recyclable/non compostable waste will
receive a trophy.
86
Energy Busting

• Aim for a reduction in energy consumed at school
• Eco committee to organise Waste Busters
• Investigate our energy supplier to find out how
  much of our energy comes from renewable sources.
• Can we reduce amount of electricity we use?

87
Energy busting continued

• We were disappointed to see that a key energy
  saving opportunity was missed during the south
  facing roof extension of the school hall. At the
  time the required funding was unavailable.
• It is hoped that, by seeking Green Flag status,
  we will be able to investigate/access our own
  funding for a renewable energy project.
• E.g Investigate solar heating for the outdoor
  swimming pool-this should have the biggest single
  impact on our energy rating!

88
Ecology

• Following class consultations, ideas for future
  development were
• more habitats
• bird bath/box/table
• bat box
• ladybird house
• butterfly garden
• insect hotels
• planting for bees !!
• More signs/interpretation boards
• Conversion of an existing shed into a hide
• Geology trail The Story Of Rocks

A new school grounds committee is to be set up to
oversee these projects and to spread the
workload. We will also be taking part in Kew
Great Plant Hunt to celebrate the life and work
of Charles Darwin.
89
Developing The School Vegetable Garden

• The children tell us that they have enjoyed
  growing vegetables over the last two years but
  would like to grow more of a range over the
  coming seasons. We also hope to extend the
  growing season. We Plan to achieve this through
  our forthcoming Healthy Pizza Project. Vegetable
  topping items will be investigated and grown. The
  bases will be cooked in a solar oven constructed
  from reclaimed materials.
• We are planning to introduce a crop rotation
  system of beds and extend the idea of companion
  planting. The science behind this is being
  incorporated into the new soils unit in Y4.

90
Salad crop 2008 well on the way to extending
variety of produce! Mixed salads are served to
the whole school for three days For next season
the big idea is Healthy Pizza Toppings

Eco News
India Rayner (Y6) wins the Bag For Life
Competition run by the Beechwood Arcade in
conjunction with the charity Colbalt Appeal
Fund. Her excellent design will grace the front
of a batch of reusable bags. Various design
entries helped to decorate the latest Eco Schools
board. Well done India. (Summer 08). Mr Moore
and Team Clean have been busy trialling an eco
carpet cleaner. The cleaner uses only water and
the results have been very impressive. We are due
to take delivery of one any day now. Now that the
school no longer contracts cleaning services out,
we have much greater control over the products
used. An eco cleaning audit is coming soon! The
School Council are looking at alternatives to
paper towels in the toilets. This should
drastically cut down our consumption of paper
towels. We hope to submit our Green Flag
application by the end of March.
98
The new Eco carpet Cleaner uses only water and
works really well!
99
Home-School Links
Our children will need to meet, head on, a whole
range of environment related challenges. Many of
the children are telling us that they are already
involved in eco-activities outside of school. We
are hoping to hear about some of them. We are
planning to conduct another survey on journeys to
school and work. This should lead to some
interesting maths work!
100
We entered a competition to design A bag for
life The design would be printed onto the front
of re usable bags and sold in the Beechwood
Arcade There were lots of entries!

A Winning Design !
Over the coming weeks keep your eyes open for a
strikingly designed shopping bag around the
Regency Arcade and Cheltenham. The design which
takes the form of a footprint was the winning
design in the Bag for Life competition that
several members of the school entered recently.
The project aims to reduce the amount of waste
produced by using several plastic bags for
shopping by replacing them with one bag for life.
India Raynor was the designer. Congratulations to
her. Here she is with her winning design.

The Kitchen Garden To Get A Make-over
111
The 306 paving blocks left over from the school
entrance project have inspired a new layout for
the kitchen garden. 4F have come up with a
design for a path which will run from the
playground to the compost heap. From this we hope
to run paths (re using some slabs) between the
planned raised beds.
112

• We used Logo to generate some layouts before
  testing them for real outside. By seeing for
  ourselves how many blocks would be needed for
  every metre of length, we were able to calculate
  how many would be needed to construct the entire
  length. As it turns out, have just enough for a
  narrow path!

113
Charlotte (4F) works on her layout using Logo
114
4F realise their Logo designs to produce a path
making use of reclaimed blocks. A big thank you
to the parents who dug out the trenchwe hope you
dig our path!
115
Crop Rotation If you keep planting the same
crops in the same place year after year, diseases
and pests can build up in the soil. This is a
good reason to move your crops to a different
place each year. Different plants need different
nutrients. If you keep on planting your crop in
the same place every year, it will drain its
favourite nutrients from its soil bed. This is
another good reason to grow your crop in a
different place each year. We can organise the
order we move crops around by rotating them. Each
year they will be planted in a new place (for 4
years). At the start of the fifth year they will
be back where they started in year 1! Because
different plants need different nutrients to grow
properly, moving the plants around the beds in
this way keeps the nutrients in the soil balanced.
116

• We find that our plans often alter (sometimes
  drastically) as new resources become available,
  but this is part of the fun when re using and
  recycling-there are always new challenges!

117
Companion Planting The best way to grow
vegetables is to plant what we call planting
communities. Just as a real community can work
together, plants, insects and even the soil
itself can all work together to make a healthy
and balanced natural community-an ecosystem. For
example Some plants give off certain chemicals
and scents which repel (scare off) harmful pests.
This is why we plant marigold flowers alongside
some of our vegetables. Certain plants attract
beneficial (useful) insects that might eat the
pests in your vegetable plots!

123
Compost Corner We will continue to need good
reserves of quality compost. The soil at C.K.J.S
is very sandy and the nutrients get washed
through quickly. Compost will help to beef up the
soil! We now have a compost aerator to improve
essential airflow through the heap and a compost
thermometer to track its temperature. Tracking
the temperature will help us to check if we have
the balance of ingredients about right (green
stuff vs brown stuff).
124
If the heap is composting properly, we will be
able to measure the heat it gives out. We can
record the results on a line graph. We are also
composting leaves in bags and plastic bins-the
more compost the better!
125
There is an open leaf pile in the composting
station.
There are leaves in the compost bins too
These bags are stuffed with leaves. There are
lots of holes in the bags to allow good airflow
We worked hard to gather fallen leaves which
will, given time, make top grade compost. How do
we know?-we have done it before and it worked
really well!

Linking With C.K.I.S
Most of our children have a high level of
Eco-Awareness owing to the excellent work going
on in Charlton Kings Infant School-they recently
achieved green flag status. Next term the Eco
Committee will be visiting Charlton Kings Infants
to meet their fellow members and to experience
the famous Bug Club! We are sure that this
will be the start of a worthwhile and enjoyable
link.
128
Low-waste lunchbox Pilot Project Over a 5 week
period 4F and 6R have been collecting data about
the non-recyclable waste from our packed lunches
that will eventually go to landfill-and store up
problems for the future! We will are going to
roll this out to the whole school after half
term. There might also be a termly trophy for the
class generating the least number of
non-recyclable items
129
4F catalogued their non-recyclable lunch waste
for 5 weeks
Kayla Timms and Zac Walker made this pie chart
130
6R catalogued their non-recyclable waste lunch
waste for 5 weeks
131
Instructions

• Your Eco Rep (with some help) will collect your
  waste.
• Each day they will tally up the different types
  of waste and record on the chart.
• Items for the school compost heap (put it in!)
• Items that can be recycled (take home)
• Items that cannot be recycled- tally up the
  number of packets/wrappers, bags and pots (these
  will go in the bin)

132
Whole School Eco- Maths Challenge From Monday 2nd
March to Friday 6th March we will be taking a
closer look at the waste from our packed
lunches. Each class will collect data so that we
can answer some important questions like How
much of our waste can be recycled? Which types
of waste cannot be recycled? Which class produces
the least non-recyclable waste?
133
4F
6R

134
Is my packaging recyclable?

• You will need to look at the packaging carefully!
• Most plastic bottles can be recycled
• Foil can be recycled
• Most yoghurt pots, yoghurt pouches, yoghurt
  tubes, crisp packets, cling film and small
  plastic bags cannot be recycled in our area (at
  the moment).
• Some packets and wrappers can be put on a compost
  heap-if this is the case, it will say.
