Our brilliant Pre-Prep Eco Council rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into some very important green work – and what a busy (and muddy!) meeting it was!
Our main mission was to replant daffodil plants for every classroom in Years 1–3, making sure everyone can enjoy beautiful flowers, a calmer space, and a greener environment. Each plant was carefully repotted with fresh soil, gently pressed down, and watered just the right amount (plants like their soil moist, not soggy!). Once happy in their new homes, the pots were placed on windowsills ready to grow and bloom.
Spider Plant Surprise!
We also repotted spider plants for each classroom, taking great care to water them carefully and treat them gently. The excitement levels went through the roof when we discovered that one spider plant had grown a spiderette baby plant! This little bonus plant was carefully repotted and added to our collection so another classroom could enjoy one too.
We talked about the health benefits of classroom plants, including:
- Helping to clean the air
- Reducing stress
- Boosting focus and concentration
To make it even more fun, classrooms will be naming their plants, helping everyone feel responsible for caring for them.
Eco Action: Litter Picking
Another group focused on litter picking and why it’s so important:
- Plastic does not decompose
- Litter can hurt or make animals sick
- Chemicals from litter can poison plants
Animals and plants need our help! By picking up litter, we protect wildlife and keep our environment safe, healthy, and tidy. Keep up the good work Eco Council.
