Earth Day activities in the Primary School

EARTH DAY 2019

PROTECT OUR SPECIES

On Monday 22 April, students in the Primary School spent time reflecting on the importance of Earth Day and considering action that they can take to 'protect our species.' 

GRADE 1

Students in Grade 1 watched a video and then thought of actions that they can take to help take care of the Earth.

                     

GRADE 2

In Grade 2, students reflected on small steps that they are taking to help our planet.

                 

GRADE 3

To link with their current Poetry unit in Writing Workshop, Grade 3 students wrote poems about endangered species.

       

 

GRADE 4

Students in Grade 4 researched endangered species and shared their findings in a voice recording on Seesaw. Please click the link to listen:

Eco Rangers Litter Pick

ECO RANGERS

Working hard to keep our campus clean

Our Junior School Eco Rangers group has started doing regular litter picks along the drive into the campus. Sadly, the grass verge regularly seems to attract all sorts of rubbish so it was time for a tidy up!

The Eco Rangers

       

Once a month, on Wednesday lunchtimes, the Eco Rangers spend 25 minutes picking up the trash using tongs. It really is amazing what we have found so far!

What we collected in just 25 minutes!

The main rubbish seems to be cigarette butts and plastic wrappers. It could be members of our community dropping these items, or it could be people from outside - the driveway is, after all, a public road. 

Please remember to dispose of your rubbish in the proper bins and be mindful as you go around the campus - let's aim to keep it clean and tidy!
