Eco‑Warriors on a Mission: Saving Energy and Supporting Wildlife
The Year 5 and Year 6 class have formed an Eco‑Warriors group. Their job is to make sure no water or heat is wasted in school. Each day, they go around the building checking that lights are switched off, recycling bins are used properly, and whiteboards are turned off so no electricity is wasted. At the end of the week, they award each class either a red or green paw print to show how well they have done!
