As part of our ongoing work with the school council to improve environment and reduce plastic waste, the children have written letters to the local MP Sarah Dines, the Manager of Wirksworth Coop and Manager of M and S in Matlock. Hopefully we will have a response back quickly and hear about what they are doing to reduce their single use plastic. As part of our caring motto, we have had DCC waste management in to learn about recycling in Derbyshire; where to recycle; what we can recycle and why we recycle.  The children had a great time and all got to sit in the recycling truck and have their photo taken.
