This included: walking rather than travelling in the car, switching off lights to reduce electricity use, put a jumper on when you are feeling cold and turn the heating down, close windows and doors in the colder months to keep the cold out and use less plastic.** **We then talked about examples of 'environmental sustainability' at St John's and how the new KS2 Eco Council have already started to make some changes in our school environment.** ***So far, KS2 Eco Council have:*** **-Planted bulbs outside in the school grounds** **-Monitoring the use of electricity and doing 'spot checks' around the school to check electrical equipment is switched off** **-Encouraging children and staff to add waste to our compost bin** **-Encouraging more children to walk to school** **We then went outside to plant some new trees with Kara. We planted silver birch and rowan trees. We promised Kara we will visit the area as often as we can to check on the new trees.** **### St John's ECO Council Tree Planting [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1511.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1511.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1512.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1512.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1514.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1514.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1517.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1517.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1518.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1518.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1520.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1520.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/480x480c/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1521.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/gallery/st-john-s-eco-council-tree-planting/IMG_1521.JPG)** **St John's KS2 ECO Council** [ Family Christmas Carols@St John's Church ](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2022-11-10-family-christmas-carols-st-john-s-church) [ Remembrance Day at St John's Friday 11th November-We Will Remember Them... ](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2022-11-13-remembrance-day-at-st-john-s-friday-11th-november-we-will-remember-them) ### [Latest News](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news) [![Image of Reception Phonics Week November 2026 ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/Bug_Club_Phonics.png)](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2026-11-03-reception-phonics-week-november-2026) #### [Reception Phonics Week November 2026 ](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2026-11-03-reception-phonics-week-november-2026) 3 November 2026 [![Image of St John's Harvest Collection-Helping Hearts Fylde ](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/autumnharvestfoodbankcollection.webp)](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2026-10-16-st-john-s-harvest-collection-helping-hearts-fylde) #### [St John's Harvest Collection-Helping Hearts Fylde ](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2026-10-16-st-john-s-harvest-collection-helping-hearts-fylde) 16 October 2026 [![Image of Class 1 Family Learning Sessions in school (Autumn 2)](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/0_St_Johns_C_of_E_Primary_School_1920x1080(183).jpg)](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2026-10-15-class-1-family-learning-sessions-in-school-autumn-2) #### [Class 1 Family Learning Sessions in school (Autumn 2)](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/news/2026-10-15-class-1-family-learning-sessions-in-school-autumn-2) 15 October 2026 ### Contact Us **St John's C of E Primary School** Church Street Blackpool FY13NX Tel: Miss Healy - 01253 807495 - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/St-Johns-C-of-E-Primary-Blackpool-285558181628143/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stjohnsbpool) © Copyright 2017–2026 St John's C of E Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjohnsblackpool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
