We began the day by watching these two videos:
Then we got into our groups to pick up litter around Trim. Many thanks to the parents who came with us to help out!
Ready to go! |
We collected loads of litter! Here is our Green School Committee with some of the bags we collected before they were collected and disposed of properly:
Elliott and Amelia went around to all of the classrooms to give a talk on the importance of plants for the environments and the different parts of plant.
Then everyone got a chance to plant a seed, and the Green School Committee members planted our new window boxes and hanging baskets.
We had a lot of fun doing our Litter Pick-Up Races! All of the groups had races to see who could pick up the most amount of rubbish on the pitch.
Then we went into the hall to make robots out of recycled materials in our groups. Everyone worked really hard and all of the robots turned out fantastic! Here are some pictures of the robots being built. Click into Mr. Larke's page to see pictures the finished robots!
When Juniors and Seniors went home, the older classes had a table quiz with a blindfolded Mystery Green Food Tasting Round! Bernie bought lots of green food...some were more popular than others!
This is our new Green School slogan, designed by Hannah in 3rd Class:
Great work Hannah!
Everybody had a really fun day! For more pictures of our Green School Day of Action click into Mr. Larke's Classroom!
