Our Trip

On Friday 11^th May five year 9 representatives of the Eco Squad accompanied Ms Knight for a weekend residential at the Dearne Valley Centre, near Doncaster.

The trip was amazing and life changing because we got the opportunity to see how being eco-friendly even as an individual can help.  Also seeing what waste, litter and using too much valuable resources really do to the world.

There were so many highlights but the most memorable was “The Living Machine” there are only 25 in the whole world. It is the natural water purification process. Its main purpose is to clean the sewage from the water so that it can go back into the river Don. Recycling dirty, smelly water in these big 3 metre deep tanks, without chemicals, it was great.

Another good part about the trip was working with other schools, learning and discussing climate change and what we can do to make our school more eco-friendly. It wasn’t all work we did lots of team building activities outside, and the rain stayed away.  The dorms with en-suites were great, food was good, and we never got hungry. Overall we had a wonderful time there and we all said we wanted to stay longer!

If you care about the environment, could be Global or Local (our school) we have an Eco meeting every Friday second break in H10, come along!

Note from Ms Knight:

The girls were fantastic representatives from our school.  A huge thank you too Kamile, Kira, Tracy, Laura and Sidorela you made the weekend so special.  I look forward to seeing all the fantastic campaign work you will now undertake to improve our environment.
