 Longwell Green Becomes Even Greener!
The Launch of Eco-Schools at Longwell Green
Since February 2008 the children’s representatives on our School Council have made great progress towards Eco-Schools status and we aim to achieve our Bronze award before Christmas.
This year to help us launch our work towards becoming an Eco-School we are taking part in the Yellow Woods Challenge. Instead of throwing your old Yellow Pages in the bin to be dumped in a landfill site we can recycle them; and the school with the most directories per pupil wins cash prizes. http://www.eco-schools.org.uk/
Morrison’s Let’s Grow Vouchers
 We are awaiting the arrival of our raised beds that we earned through the Asda Eco-Vouchers scheme. Many thanks to everyone who joined in. We hope to have these installed once they arrive and to resurrect the school garden for the enjoyment of all the children (and some of the keen gardeners amongst the staff and parent body).
Yellow Woods Challenge: Recycle Your Yellow Pages at School
 Our Yellow Woods Challenge is our first major Eco-Schools campaign across the school and with your help it can be a huge success. By joining in we can all reinforce the message that landfills are no longer feasible and the aim should be to recycle as much as possible.
We hope you will help your children take part in our school challenge and encourage them to ask for old Yellow Pages from far and wide. Any winnings will be spent on replenishing the lunchtime Huff-n-Puff play equipment to benefit all the children across the whole school.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been out collecting Yellow Pages for us.
We will continue the collection right up until the end of term.
