Last week was National Recycling Week and we have decided to celebrate by reintroducing the recycling of crisp bags in the school. If you would like to recycle your crisp bags from home, please send them in with your child and they can put them in the recycling bin.
This session we have decided also to collect metal bottle tops and ring pulls from cans, e.g., any bottle top that requires to be open with a bottle opener. Please also send these into school for recycling. These will then be sent onto Isla Dog Rescue.
Thank you for your continued support.
