• Register: Absent/apologies: None
• Red Nose Day: The group evaluated the nose painting that we did for Comic Relief on Friday. We agreed that it had been really popular and we were really proud to have raised over £55, so well done to all involved! The group also agreed that we should do it again next year, but will think a bit more carefully about how we manage the lines for it.
• Eco Noticeboard: We now have our eco board up and running, and hopefully all teachers are displaying the eco code in their classrooms. We discussed ways in which we share eco news with the rest of the school, and reps need to chat to their teachers and come up with a way of communicating with their class. Amelia and Filip suggested using the whiteboards in the classroom to write news on. Some reps suggested having small boards in other places around the school, with basic information on. Oceane and Oona suggested having pictures of the reps and their names, and Mackena added that we could have a brief description of what the group does. Gabriela also suggested adding information about the group to the main eco board.
• Earth Hour 2019: We are keen to get involved in the WWF’s Earth Hour on Saturday 30th March, following Oona’s amazing poster success (look out for it on Lothian buses throughout March!). We had several suggestions from our reps but have decided to have a competition that will be open to anyone in the school, keep your eyes peeled for more information coming soon! John suggested that we keep everyone up to date with Earth Hour and what we are doing for it by taking photos for the school website and Twitter.
• Badges: The group were all given badge templates and discussed what should be on their badges.
• For next meeting: Eco reps should have made their badges and will be wearing them to show everyone that they are the reps. If any rep has anything they would like to add to the noticeboard about what the eco group is or why it is important, they can give it to Ms Mitchell or bring it to the next meeting.
