Lots of Eco Activity at Parklands

Well, I have so much to tell you all. it's been a busy eco time at school at the moment. As you can see from the picture above Mrs Hallows has finished collecting all the items needed for the aqua box, this photo was taken just before our assembly in March. The children had a chance to see all the different things we were able to put into the box because of their hard work. I also told the children about the alarm clock tulips planted in front of the school entrance to tell us all when spring has arrived. As you can see from this photo they are poking their heads up through the soil, this photo was taken a couple of weeks ago, they are looking much bigger now, have a look as you walk into school tomorrow.

Mrs Hallows and I also had the treat of hearing the new Parklands Eco song sung by all the children. The words are

Reduce Reuse Recycle - words that we all know

We have to save our planet to we can live and grow

We might be only children but we will try you'll see

And we can save this planet, it starts with you and me.

It's sounds brilliant when sung very loudly!! the song was written by Mrs Kilarski's class.

Parklands also celebrated earth hour on the 25th March.

Mrs Meller held an assembly to talk about it and the lights were turned off for an hour. the children were encouraged to take part at home the following day. 

We have an exciting new "Let's Get Cooking" display in the family room at the moment courtesy of Mrs Harvey, it's all about healthy eating.

And finally don't forget to use the Freecycle board in the family room to advertise unwanted goods to be gifted to others who may need them locally.

My what a busy update this has been, and there's even more to come with our green flag application going in soon, environmental reviews, letters to famous people about recycling and real live baby chicks in school. I'll keep you posted, and don't forget to let me know all your green news by catching me at school.

Mrs Padley.
