Famous landmarks around the world turned off their lights on Saturday night for one hour to mark ‘Earth Hour’.<\/p>\n

Earth Hour is an hour every year where people are encouraged to turn off their lights, to raise awareness of environmental issues.<\/p>\n

In the UK the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in London went dark on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Landmarks like the Sydney Opera House in Australia and the Eiffel Tower in France also turned off their lights.<\/p>\n

More than 350 landmarks in 178 countries took part in the event – here is a picture of Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower in total darkness!<\/p>\n

The Eco\u00a0Committee played their part by organising \u00a0‘Earth Golden Time’!\u00a0 We came up with 4 activities which were outdoors and did not use any electricity.\u00a0 I chose ‘tent reading’ because it was nice to relax outdoors.\u00a0 We got to sit on cool beanbags and read of chat with our friends.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em> By Mary Bruce P6<\/p>\n
