Energy Use: During our electricity unit, we learned about the different sources of renewable energy as a more sustainable approach to power usage. Some of the sources we explored were solar, hydro and wind power. Rainforests: In our most recent geography topic, we are exploring the amazing things rainforests provide us with, as well as the threats facing these ecosystems. We have looked at how different organisations, companies and individuals view the rainforest and how it should be utilised (or not).

For science week, Year 5 enjoyed collecting recycled materials. They then used these recycled materials to construct an aeroplane. During our topic on 'Extreme Locations' we explored the different environments around the world and the impact that global warming has. We used the laptops to research and create an information brochure on ways to prevent Global Warming.

Science week Year 4

Recyclable materials:

In Year 6, we visited Al Khor beach to take part in a beach clean up. As you can see, we were able to collect a lot of different pieces of rubbish. Some of the rubbish was what you would usually expect (bottles, packets etc.) however, we did find some very interesting items, as you can see. This linked in with a lot of our Eco Warrior themes - Climate Change, Litter, Marine & Coast and Waste.

School Garden We have a school garden that we are going to maintain. We also have raised beds where we are going to grow vegetable through a rotation system of soil preservation.

small posters to remind our classmates and teachers to turn the lights off when not in use.

Recycle Bins We have our recycle bins in every classroom which makes it easier to collect and separate the recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard and plastic from the general waste before they end up in landfills. By using recycle bins we can recycle more and more! We also recycle in the canteen now that it has opened again. ONLY WHITE PAPER! We have little green boxes in every classroom so we don't have to leave our classrooms to throw in white paper every time.

Oryx International school's has launched the 'Eco Warrior' Campaign to raise awareness among the school community and engage the students and teachers iin a number of sustainability activities. The initiatives include waste, recycling, planting and school trips.

Our 'Kids Sustainability Event' sparked excitement among our staff's young learners. Through interactive videos, quizzes, and eco-friendly activities, we made learning about protecting the environment an absolute blast - all on a single, unforgettable day! Nurturing the minds of our youth with environmental awareness sets the stage for a more vibrant and sustainable tomorrow. Huge appreciation to our dedicated staff and their eco-conscious children for crafting such a remarkable occasion.

Waste generated in the project is assessed in in the criterion Waste Management under the Management and Operations . This criterion identifies methods and measures to be implemented to reduce, collect, segregate, transport, recycle and dispose of waste generated on site. The degree of implementation of these methods and measures is determined based on the project documentation in the form of a Waste Management Report
