Our environmentally conscious pupils rolled up their sleeves to look after our coastal habitats today.

Our pupils happily marched down to the village beach, just catching the sunshine between showers.\u00a0 The responsible children gave the area a good spring clean to help contribute positively to our communities. We were joined by Brenda from ONUS (Our Oceans Need Us) too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was lots of plastic to be found and the children had much discussion on being responsible with our litter and waste as we know it can harm marine and land wildlife, as well as being unsightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We worked in partnership with our local Community Safety Officers who arranged for the loan of litter picking equipment and organised the collection of the rubbish we found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity fits in well with our Eco Schools Target for Litter and Waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
