Acomb School Council

This afternoon school councillors have been encouraging wildlife into the school grounds by adding pots of spring flowers to the reception outdoor area. Have a look as you go past!

@EcoSchools @ecoyorkcyc

The other half of our school council have delivered @ReFoodUK fruit waste bins into classrooms. We are excited to see how much power we can generate from our banana skins and apple cores!

Our councillors are busy this lunchtime labelling up our bins with posters from @ReFoodUK . Check it before you chuck it!

As part of our work on slimming our bins, we have collected boxes with objects included below. We need volunteers to help take a bag to St Nicks recycling centre (YO10 3FW) as part of their partnership with Terracycle. Please let us know if you can help! @FoapAcomb @acombprimary

We’re so pleased share our most recent work with @CityofYork council working to listen to young people and their concerns for where we live ensuring York is an inclusive City. @acombprimary @EcoSchools @YorkYouth

@AkelaPegasus @acombprimary @FoapAcomb Great! Thank you!

@APSCouncil @acombprimary @FoapAcomb If you leave them out on a wednesday evening i’m sure holgate cubs and leaders will take some home 👍

APS Council want our empty milk cartons taken away and added to plastic recycling bins. Let us know if you are able to take any home to recycle. If you have room, take them soon! @acombprimary @FoapAcomb

Today, we have been making a poster about 'Our Goals' this year. Keep an eye out on the School Council board to look at what you can do to help! Here is a sneak peak!

We are planning on keeping the Christmas Jumper swap open until Friday 31st January. Keep the Christmas jumpers coming! Please take them to the school office. Thank you!

We are sorry to have to cancel the Christmas jumper swap tomorrow. Hopefully we can run this next year. You’re welcome to collect any donated jumpers from the school office or leave them for us to use next year! Thank you
