Children across the school celebrated Earth Day through a variety of mindful earth-friendly activities.
Our School Council organised a clean-up of the school yard and the surrounding area, and individual classes took part in class-based activities.
It was great to see children working hand in hand to look after our world!
The very first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. This day was created by American Senator, Gaylord Nelson, to make people aware of the importance of keeping our planet healthy and clean. On that day,people made promises to help the environment and make positive changes in their community. Since then, more than 500 million people in over 180 countries have participated in Earth Day activities!
I miss doing this stuff so much, but since I moved schools it has been a lot different.
