What we believeWe wanted to get a catchy phrase to explain to everybody what the green committee is all about especially when we are raising money or doing projects!

On our first meeting, Maddie came up with a brilliant catchy phrase which we use all the time now!

Green World , Green Parson Street!

Our Projects

Train StationWe (Lucy and Rebecca) have emailed a lady about what we could improve on at our local station... Mrs Thomas gave us the idea!

This is what we sent to her...

Dear Sarah Collins,Hello we are Lucy and Rebecca from Parson Street Primary School, we are in year 5. Also we’re in the green committee, Mrs Thomas told us to email you about Parson Street railway station.

We would like to ask you about some jobs that Parson Street children can do to help and look after our railway station. One job that some children could do is form a clean up club, so that we could tidy up all the litter. We are very good at cleaning up our school and so are the rest of the children at Parson Street.

Another job that we are thinking is that maybe some children can do some planting, to make the station look a little more exciting and interesting! We could do some flower beds to make it more colourful.

One last thing is that we would like to have new art work around the station because it would be a fantastic opportunity to show off our work.Thank you very much for reading our email.We hope to hear from you soon,

Lucy and RebeccaAnd she replied...

Dear Lucy and Rebecca,Thank you for your email, I am so pleased to hear that you are interestedin brightening up Parsons street station. Sarah Collins no longer worksfor Severnside Community Rail Partnership, however I have taken over someof Sarah’s work and my name is Heather Cullimore.I think your idea of a litter pick around the station is excellent, however railway stations can be very dangerous places so unfortunately I am unableto organise litter picking as a school activity. I will let my colleaguesat First Great Western know that the station could do with some attentionand I am sure the environmental cleaner will give the platforms an extraspecial tidy up.I would be really pleased if you could grow some plants for the station. Ifyou like I could bring down some seeds from Eastside Roots, which is aCommunity Garden Centre at Stapleton Road station for you to start growingat school. You might be interested to know that I am friends withPaddington Bear, and if you think it would be a good idea I could askPaddington to along with me when I bring the seeds to your school.School artwork always looks great at stations and I will see if I can havea poster case at Parsons Street station to display art from your school.Perhaps your teachers would be willing to change the art in the poster caseeach term?I would also be pleased to come to your school to talk about these ideaswith you and your teachers. Please contact me on this email address.Best wishes,Heather Cullimore

Heather came to our school at our last Green Committee meeting and we talked about what we could do to make our station better and we decided that they were going to make a display board for our artwork and they would give us some seedlings that we could grow ready to be planted at the station... SO WATCH THAT SPACE!

Hi ,Thank you for your message. I really enjoyed visiting the Green Committeeand was so impressed with the enthusiasm of all the members and lookforward to progressing some of their fantastic ideas.Firstly, I would like to put a date in the diary to come back withPaddington and plant some seeds. I could do either Friday 25th May, 1stJune or 15th June. I would like to invite the Bristol Evening Post andwould be grateful of you could advise regarding consent to use photographsof pupils.By way of thanking the committee I would also like to organise an outing byrail from Parsons Street station to Bristol Zoo. Please could you suggestsome suitable dates towards the end of the summer term? To fit in withreasonable connections from Bristol Temple Meads Station to Clifton Down Iwould suggest the following timetable:09:36 Depart Parsons Street Station10:20 Arrive Clifton Down Station14:51 Depart Clifton Down Station15:29 Arrive Parsons Street StationThe train travel for the children will be sponsored by First Great Western,and I will contact the Zoo to discuss the possibility of complimentarytickets. I will also ask if Paddington Bear and Larry the Lemur (theBristol Zoo Mascot) can walk the final part of the journey between CliftonDown and Bristol Zoo with the children. We can discuss finer details ofthe trip once we have a confirmed date.Kind regards, Heather
