Current Projects Term 2

Gardening in Early Years 

Ricard Bladé, Edgar Suarez, Bernat Camps (1º ESO Environmental Club)
March 2017

Our Environmental project will consist in various things:

We are helping nursery children them with their project. All the things that we will plant we'll do them with nursery children.

-We will plant onions, when they are ready to take from underground we will wash them and take
them to the Oak House's kitchen.

-We will also do the same with lettuce.

Here are the lettuces we planted:

Scrap Paper Boxes in ESO Building

Maia Sibley Swain and Victoria Balcells (2º ESO Enviornmental Club)
March 2017 - (unfinished)

Our project is going to consist in placing scrap paper "baskets" in the classrooms around the school (secondary and maybe primary), so that people don't waste paper when it could be reused. Sometimes people need scrap paper to quickly do something, but with the lack of scrap paper, we have to use normal, unused paper which we will then throw away. So, we thought that adding these bins would help the environment, not only for a short period of time, but for a longer time. 

Mobile Phone Collection

Isabel Gansäur, helped by María Vendrell and Marta Vázquez (1º ESO Environmental Club)
March 2017 - (unfinished)

I want to do the Mobile phone collection because I want to prevent the animal extinction as I am a member of the institute Jane Goodall I know it could really help. I will also talk to Helen for advice as she was one of the ones organizing it last year.

The campaign will run from now until June and we will put bins in the ESO building where people can leave the phones.

Battery Recycling - Apilo Rocket!

March 2017 - June 2017

Oak House School were given a space rocket with a bin inside, when you build it, there's a hole in the rocket where you are able to throwh batteries inside. There are also small boxes with information and with a hole, for throwing small batteries inside. We gave out the boxes to all the classes of Secondary, Bachillerato/IB and Primary.

Let's save the grass!

Sara Horspool (1º ESO Environmental Project)

March 2017

Sara made a sign to try and encourage Bachillerato and IB students to walk on the path and not step on the grass - which is killing it and leaving an ugly patch of dirt instead of green grass!

Meatless Mondays

Patricia Darnell, Inés Lammers, Laura Contreras,  (4ºESO Eco Committee)

March 2017 - June 2017

These 4º ESO students have given up their free time to start promoting the Meatless Mondays campaign to raise awareness about the environmental impact of meat consumption. They put up poseters around the school to raise awareness and prepared a power point for the Eco-committee meeting on 1st June explaining why this project exists and suggesting that as well as observing Meatless Mondays at school (Thanks to collaboration by the school administration and kitchen departments) we could all avoid meat in our other meals on Monday's as well!

Here is a video clip where Leonardo DiCaprio explains the motives behind this campaign!
