Green Schools Week !

Welcome to Green Schools Week ! We really are a green school and have acquired so many green flags but we must continue to try to live in a green way and be kind to our environment.  A big shout out to our Green Schools Committee rep, Bea.  Thank you Bea for all your hard work this year!!

 

Take a look at the Green Schools work-grid in your envelope pack for ideas of activities you may like to do this week.

Read the lyrics sheet for What a Wonderful World which was in your pack and sing along with these videos.  It is a beautiful song;
