Year 1 Caring for Our Environment! Our fantastic Year 1 children have been busy learning all about our planet and how we can make our school a happier, cleaner place for everyone. Over the past week, they have worked incredibly hard to collect litter from around our school grounds. To share their learning, Year 1 have created some fantastic posters to remind us all not to drop litter and to keep our school clean and tidy. Keep an eye out when you're around school - you might spot one of their brilliant posters displayed! We are so proud of the children for taking action and showing such care for our school and the wider world. Let's work together as a school community - children, staff and families - to respect our school and protect our planet. Every small action makes a big difference! A big thank you to Year 1 for helping us all make a difference!
