Sherston CofE Primary SchoolWiltshire

This year we have developed the Energy Conservation aspects of the EcoSchool award through these areas Participation in Climate Change Week Insulation experiments using resources from

SEACS Specific energy responsibilities given to

members of the School Eco-Team Launched “The Golden Plug Award”

Prior to the week Jenny from SEACS visited us to carry out some experiments on insulation with Willow class.

Climate Change Week

Members of Y6 were introduced to a Thermal Imaging Camera. They especially wanted to see whether our new thick polythene ‘doors’ in Oak class retained heat.

Climate Change Week

With the help of the camera Sycamore class proved they are a great success!

Climate Change Week

For Climate Change Week Y5 & Y6 led a special assembly to tell the school what they had found out about insulation and energy saving

Climate Change Week

The assembly was used to launch the

Golden Plug Award

Climate Change Week

The Golden Plug Award

Every day two members of the Eco-Team become inspectors and monitor energy conservation during break and play times.

They record their findings and announce the weekly winner at our Friday assembly.

Golden Plug Award

We hope to Use the Eco-Team weekly sheet to compare

our classes’ response to energy saving. Where necessary Eco Team members will visit a class to encourage energy saving

Use the automatic reading meters to track impact of our actions

Back up actual energy saving with a financial reward given to the School Council

Our next actions…..
