Flying the Green Flag!

Hi everyone! I’ve got exciting news! Today, my school received a Green Flag!
We got it from Eco-Schools, an international organisation

that gives Green Flags to eco-friendly schools.

We got ours because we’ve got lots of recycling bins in the school corridors.

Also, every Friday is ‘Travel Smart Day’, so all the students and teachers

walk or ride their bikes to school instead of coming by car.

We’re very proud of our Green Flag.

Our head teacher is going to put it outside our school for everyone to see.
Does anyone else go to an Eco-School?

Flying the Green Flag!

Hi Lauren! Congratulations! This year, we are going to try

and get a Green Flag for our school.

I think we’ll get one because we’re planning lots of eco-friendly activities.
We’re going to use food waste from the canteen to make compost.
Then, we’re going to use the compost to grow organic vegetables in our greenhouse.
We also want to collect rainwater in buckets to water our vegetables.
As our head teacher says, “Every little helps!”
