GREEN DAYS 2012

Days to think about the things

we can all do to be Greener

What does it

mean to be green?

“Being green means

that we live our lives in

a way which looks

after the planet for

future generations.”

How can we

be green?

Reception Have prepared a

song for everyone

Its our World!

It’s our world, we’re the children of tomorrow

Yes it’s our world, we want the trees and grass to

grow

Though we are young, we all realise

The little things we do make a difference

So let’s all care for our world

Care for the world

By not wasting precious water

Care for the world

Saving energy so let’s all pull together

Every boy and girl

Let’s make sure that we recycle every day

Plastic, paper, clothes and bottles

Don’t throw them away.

It’s our world everybody everywhere

Yes it’s our world let’s all show how much we

care

Though we are young, we all realise There’s so

much we can do

And we promise that we’ll care, as it’s our world

Care for the world

By not wasting precious water

Care for the world

Saving energy so let’s all pull together

Every boy and girl

Let’s make sure that we recycle every

day

Plastic, paper, clothes and bottles

Don’t throw them away.

It’s our world, we’re the children of

tomorrow

Yes it’s our world, we want the trees and

grass to grow

Though we are young, we all realise

The little things we do make a difference

So lets all care for our world

And we promise that we’ll care, as it’s our

world

Yes it’s up to you and me, as it’s our

world

This week our Green

Council will be running

workshops for Blackpool’s

First Sustainability

Conference which we are

holding at Palatine High

School.

We have over 210 delegates

from 32 primary schools

attending.

We also have 25

environmental organisation

supporting the event.

Your work over the next two

days will support our

conference.

What we would like you to do on

these Green Days!

• we would like you to design A4 posters, how we can be greener - one on each of the following themes. – Energy, water, waste, conservation, travel & transport, litter and school grounds. •Choose an animal species which is endangered. Explore why the animal is endangered eghabitat destruction. Discuss solutions. Whose responsibility is it to protect species. It would be good to have some art work and written work to go on display in school around this topic. Why not begin with different conservation organisations.•Discuss as a class- how small steps / changes to behaviours / routines can lead to big differences and improvements in the environment. As a class and as individuals children to make pledges – to change a behaviour at home which will make them greener eg recycle all paper, recycle all plastic bottles etc – this can be done in different ways – a) asking classes to be creative and build their own pledge out of recycled materials ( collage), b) by use of green footsteps c) short video pledges, and d) a wall wisher on the Blog (which will be active on 18th June.)
