On Friday 19 April, New City celebrated Earth Day by wearing green! In assembly, the eco-warriors explained the purpose of Earth Day, and launched a reduce energy poster competition. In KS1 and KS2, the children then learnt more about the history of Earth Day and the importance of looking after our planet. Many year groups also developed their mathematical data-handling skills by producing graphs showing how good classes were at turning off lights. Year 1 used balloons to make models of the Earth!
We’d love for parents and carers to support us at home by encouraging your children to enter the poster competition and also to reduce energy usage by turning off lights and electrical appliances. For ideas of Earth Day type activities, please visit:
