The Eco Team have been very busy working on how we can be an eco friendly school. We decided to plant flowers to make our school environment more appealing and welcoming.

As a team, we worked collaboratively to make water butts for our school. You can do this at home as well with your family with things that you can find around your home. Here’s how:

• String
• Scissors
