🌍Earth Day in Rec

🌍Earth Day in Reception!🌍

Reception have had a fantastic week celebrating Earth Day and thinking about the small but powerful ways they can help look after our planet every single day. The children came up with some brilliant eco‑ideas for home, including switching off lights when leaving a room, turning off the tap while brushing their teeth, and taking all our rubbish home after a visit to the beach ♻️💡

They’ve been busy singing about the continents of the world, painting their own colourful maps, and even creating balloon globes to take home as a reminder of just how precious our Earth is 🌎🎨

The children were also amazed to discover that famous naturalist Sir David Attenborough is very nearly 100 years old! What an inspiration! 💚

Such a wonderful week of learning, creativity and caring for our planet 🌱✨
