This week Emanuel Eco Week was underway, featuring a variety of engaging activities focused on sustainability and environmental awareness. From a recycling workshop and paper-making session to a repair clothing workshop and gardening club, students learned valuable skills and information on how to reduce waste and live more eco-friendly lives. The environmental photography competition added a creative touch to the week, encouraging participants to capture the beauty of nature, human impact and the importance of protecting our planet.
Our eco week form time discussions centered around the increasingly prevalent issue of eco-anxiety. Students engaged in conversations about the growing concerns over climate change, discussing the emotional toll and stress that can result from these challenges. Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together and make a positive impact on the environment.
In Gardening club this week and as part of eco-week, the gardeners planted pumpkin seeds (that will be ready in time for Halloween!) and cosmos seeds to add a splash of colour to the garden. We harvested spinach and radish and it won’t be long until we can start picking our broad beans.
