Wynstream keen to get started on the gardening

MORE good news this week Green teamers - another school has joined us!
Everyone please welcome Wynstream, whose brand new Green team has been chosen from a range of year groups.
And here they are - in Year 3 we have Wayne Birch and Marlie Hyman; in Year 4 they are Joanna Gazdziak and Nathan Gould; from Year 5 Green team members are Crystal Orchard and Reese Drew; and from Year 6 we have Wiktoria Kolasa and Callum Saunders.
This Green team is very keen to start gardening - composting and growing in particular.
Wayne said that he likes a bit of gardening while Marlie says daffodils are her favourite flower and she is looking forward to them showing again this year.
Joanna is keen on composting and said apple cores were particularly good for it while Nathan says he can hardly wait to use some of the compost in his gardening.
However, the Green team is most likely to start off indoors as they have been looking already at how to save energy. Ideas to "tell off " teachers if they leave things switched on when out of the room seemed to have gone down well with the group.
Reese and Crystal are both keen to learn all they can about recycling.
Wynstream already has a well organised recycling team where they go round each week to all the classrooms and collect, in an even bigger bin, all the wellused paper from the classrooms. They carry this off to the very big bins hidden behind the buildings from where Exeter City Council collects the school's recycling once a fortnight.
Wiktoria said: "It seems to work well and it's good fun doing it as well!" Both Callum and Wiktoria are keen to reduce the school's carbon footprint.
. You must all now be looking forward to half-term next week!
That means there is no Green team page in the Echo, but remember to buy the Echo on Friday this week when there will be an eight-page Green team special reporting on the Acorn Awards, which are being presented tomorrow at the city's Corn Exchange.
