WE GOT THE GREEN FLAG!!!

Hi everyone,

I write with exciting news that Parklands has been awarded the Eco Schools Green Flag award. We were assessed in November and found out the same day that we had been successful. The children from the Eco Team did a BRILLIANT job showing our assessor Mrs Webster around the school. Mrs Golding and myself came too. we looked at the Eco notice board with Dylan and Katie, then around unit 2 with Laura and Stephanie to see how we recycle paper and know all about fairtrade. Then we looked around unit 1 with Diya and Yasmin, and finally out into the wildlife garden and nursery garden with Ash and May. Mrs Webster especially enjoyed hearing our eco sung very loudly in the playground at playtime, it put a very big smile on her face.

That was all last month, but fresh news this week!!! THE GREEN FLAG HAS ARRIVED!! Mrs Mellor is working on getting a flag pole so we'll let you know when the big day will be. But in the emantime, a MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS  to all the children and staff at Parklands and to everyone on the ECO team, great job everybody.

Have a very Happy and Green (and maybe white) Christmas

Mrs Padley
