Planting a Tree for Earth Day 2009

earth-day-2009

The theme for this year’s National Trust lead Earth Day celebrations was ‘A Green Generation”.  We joined together with other primary schools on the island to participate in a tree planting ceremony at Cheshire Hall (a National Trust heritage site).  We chose to plant a Jamaican caper seeding. When we had finished planting it we celebrated by chanting out “We’re green and we’re cool, at Provo Primary School” and each of us gave our tree a special hug!  It’s great to think that in years to come we will all be able to visit our school tree and remember how we celebrated our awareness of the environment on Earth Day by planting it.   Click here to download a movie of us planting our tree.
