THE ENVIRONMENT

At school and in our community, we want to make a difference. We know that we can support not only our children’s thinking but also that of our families. So, we decided to make pledges we could commit to at school and at home to help protect the planet.

After reflecting on our use (and overuse?) of water in school – as a team and with the children – we decided to turn off our garden taps and use water only to water the plants, fruit and vegetables.

Each morning, children help staff to half fill one tub of water, which they can use for imaginative play. Now they use smaller containers and think about how they want to use the water.
