The Eco-Committee had a wonderful afternoon at Lilleshall Hall this week. We were invited by the grounds team at the hall to go along and help them to plant trees to develop their existing wooded area. The head gardener showed us around parts of the grounds including the Dial garden and other formal gardens and also some of the nature trails that are being developed through the grounds. Each member of the committee then planted at least one tree (either an oak, a cherry or a lime) and we talked about how generations in the future would be able to enjoy what they had planted now. We finished off the afternoon with a treat of biscuits and drinks in the restaurant. The staff were all very complimentary about the children’s behaviour and enthusiasm. Well done the Eco-Team!

We are making progress towards our Green Flag Award and on Friday, 18th November Eco Committee took part in a litter pick around Lilleshall and registered for The Keep Britain Tidy Big School Clean competition. We managed to pick up a staggering count of 663 pieces of litter on our walk!
