﻿Speaker 1:
To help us carry out our survey, we prepared questionnaires on the exercise taken by pupils 
outside school time and also on eating habits in and out of school. To encourage healthier 
snacks, our Eco-School Committee set up a fruit and vegetable tuck shop, which proved very 
popular with staff and students. 
A local greengrocer provided produce at a low enough cost for the shop to make a small profit. 
The committee is also encouraging students to take more exercise by promoting a 
‘Walk-to-School’ campaign, and has also started an after-school aerobics club.

Speaker 2:
We asked our school to provide us with special bins so that students could recycle on their 
own. 
We then went through our school’s dustbins and sorted out the waste into different categories: 
plastic, paper, metal and glass, which went into the appropriate bins. The more creative 
students used some of the rubbish to make art! We experimented with composting and were 
successful in growing a range of organic vegetables in our school garden. 

Speaker 3:
We tried to improve our school environment by buying plants for the window boxes we have 
outside each classroom. 
Some students painted the window boxes in lively colours to make our school environment 
brighter. 
We also developed a butterfly garden and many people from our community donated plants that 
will attract many species of butterflies. 
Another group of students planted ground cover plants to make it easier to keep our garden 
weed free. 
We all took turns watering and caring for the plants. We hope that the berries we are growing 
will feed the birds in the autumn and winter.
