Eco Update

rmpstaff

A few weeks ago, the eco committee at Royal Mile organised a ‘No Plastic Day’. The children were encouraged to bring in snacks in either reusable containers or snacks with no plastic packaging at all. At first, we did an eco-audit to see how much plastic rubbish we produce on a normal day and the results were scary!

But on ‘No Plastic Day’ we managed to cut down the amount of plastic waste that would go to landfill by an amazing 130 pieces, to just 33! We also found that on ‘No Plastic Day’ we produced 60 less pieces of rubbish in just one day! We were really happy with the results and the effort that people put in, at school and at home.

We would like to continue the no plastic effort by challenging students to carry on using reusable containers and bring in snacks without plastic packaging.

The eco committee has also been working hard at making sure that the plastic we do bring in can be recycled. We have put in a plastic recycling bin in the playground and have teamed up with a company who will recycle all of the crisp packets in our new crisp packet recycling bin. Please look out for the bins in the bottom playground and encourage your friends to use them.

Thank your for everyone’s help and contributions.

Worry monsters what are they?

rmpstaff

Worry monsters are toys that you write your worry down and put it in the mouth and they come in all shapes and sizes you can find them in some shops they can be very calming when you are down and we can use them for stress relief toys but that is with the soft ones.

 

Are they available in school

 

 

Yes people can make and use them if you’re teacher allowed you to .

They are often used in support for learning

 

CAN You make your own

 

 

yes you can make one (or two) and they are quite easy to make you still have to practice (just to make the worry monster perfect)

 

Can children with autism use worry monsters

 

 

Yes they are good for autism but they are not safe for infants e.g 1 year olds

At assembly we will be looking at worry monsters and we will have a worry monster safari/ zoo.

Below is a picture of a worry monster

As said they can be soft and fluffy or hard and big or small

 

They can have bags and sacks and they can be in books

This is a book about worries (and monsters) worry monsters the book is called
