Eco School – Gardening
Our Litter Policy
Litter find your new home,
In our hungry bins.
Throw your litter away please;
Then everybody wins!
Everyone has a responsibility to…
Reduce litter on the floor.
Please throw your litter in the bin;
Our grounds don’t want it any more.
Lower our amounts of rubbish –
It is simple enough to do;
Card, glass, paper and plastic bottles…
You can all recycle too!

St Mary’s Eco Code
(To the tune of Frère Jacques)
Save the world, save the world,
And its trees, and its trees,
You’ll be an eco-helper, you’ll be an eco-helper,
Along with me, at St Mary’s.
Litter picking, litter picking,
Switch off lights, switch off lights,
REDUCE RE-USE RECYCLE,
REDUCE RE-USE RECYCLE,
Turn off taps, turn off taps.
Save the world, save the world,
And its trees, and its trees,
You’ll be an eco-helper, you’ll be an eco-helper,
Along with me, at St Mary’s.
