LATEST NEWS FROM BETTALAND
Braybrook Primary School plant their winning prize - February 2011
City youngsters were challenged to create and decorate a Christmas tree from recycled materials before Christmas, at the Peterborough United football ground. Their efforts were judged by the Mayor of Peterborough, Councillor Keith Sharp, the city council's waste education officer Kirsty Martin, and Dave Farrell, POSH's Community Manager.
Braybrook school who won first prize for their recycled tree were presented with one of the their prizes of a 14ft tree and compost to place in their school ground on Wednesday 26th January at 10.00am by Andrew Riddington from Organic Recycling who supplied the tree and Bettaland compost. They also won an environmental field trip at the Material's Recycling Facility and the Football Ground, and a reusable washing machine drum planter.
6 children from Year 5 with a little help from the caretaker enjoyed the morning digging to plant the tree in the school grounds. They stated, "This is a little bit different than sitting in the class room doing literacy! We will ensure that we water it every day and watch it grow while we are at the school and then our brothers and sisters can enjoy it".
Kirsty Martin, Peterborough City Council's senior waste education officer, said: "This was a successful morning and the children were thrilled with their wining prize from entering into the recycled Christmas tree competition and keeping to the rules, which they have now learnt a valuable lesson. Their enthusiasm throughout the morning was exceptional and this is something which can be driven further into their schools, community and home, to encourage others on environmental issues."
