Save planet Earth!

Year 5 have been thinking carefully about protecting endangered species and taking small steps to help the environment. They each made a 'pledge to the planet' and some year 5 parents also made their pledges at our year 5 showcase. Some examples were:

• Turning off computers, laptops and other electrical items, and reading a book
• Stop using plastic bags and use recyclable bags
• Using reusable water bottles 
• Walking and cycling more, over using their cars.

These children all participated in Earth Hour 2018 on the 24th March, which is a global event encouraging the global community to switch off their electricity for 1 hour in order to raise awareness for environmental issues affecting the planet.
