Cadle Eco-group
2005 saw the launch of the Cadle Eco-school project. Each year voting takes place (Y2 to Y6) to elect 2 members from each class to form the basis of an Eco-committee. Other committee members are then invited to join the group including Mr O'Brien, teachers, an L.S.A., a parent governor, the caretaker and Mrs Roberts from the community farm. The whole school helped complete an Eco survey from which an action plan and Eco code were formulated. | ||

The Eco-committee asked the governors for permission to ban smoking and dogs from the school grounds as they felt it was a health problem. In a joint meeting the school's governing body and the Eco-committee agreed that it would be a good thing to do and the Eco-committee wrote to parents to ask for their help with the ban. This decision, along with a walk to school campaign, helped the school to achieve its phase 4 healthy school award.
WELL TO EVERYONE INVOLVED! |

This is our Eco song called the Eco Code! It is about saving our planet, recycling and being healthy.

What can be recycled? Cans - in green bags Bottles - in green bags Paper - in green bags Newspapers - in green bags Kitchen waste - in special containers Garden waste - in brown bags Recycled rubbish is collected every fortnight with ordinary rubbish for landfill. |
Three children from the Eco Committee travelled to an awards ceremony in the Millennium Stadium last academic year. The school had been nominated for an award for Water efficiency. We are pleased to announce that we won!

We have also achieved the green flag award! Well done to everyone! |
Cadle Primary School was nominated for the award of Best Primary School in Wales for all their hard work in making their school Eco friendly.

Thanks to Mrs McCarroll, Mrs Erasmus and all the Eco committee for all the help done they have done to improve the school this year.
