BRITISH SCIENCE WEEK, 14-18 March

Our theme this year is reducing the school’s carbon footprint.

In tutor time during that week, students will be entering their carbon-saving activities as part of a house competition to save the greatest mass of carbon dioxide emissions!

Activities include…

• Meat-free Monday
• Non-uniform day on the Wednesday (students and staff please wear a pre-loved item of clothing)
• Guest speaker Phil Porter from University of Hertfordshire
• Tree maintenance and biodiversity survey of the site
• Electricity generation by exercise biking
• Walk or cycle to school instead of driving, on the Wednesday
• Carbon-neutral catering on the Wednesday
• Sixth form clothes exchange fayre
• House quiz
• Chemistry Show in the Sandpit Theatre, 6pm on Tuesday 15 March
• Lunchtime extracurricular activities
• Climate Change summit

We will also be encouraging students and their families to plant a tree, which you can do here (https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-trees-and-woods/campaign-with-us/big-climate-fightback/)

 

To sign up for the activities, students and parents/guardians should use SOCS: https://www.socscms.com/SOCS/Default.asp or get to it through the mySandstorm page.
