GREEN DAYS 2012
Days to think about the things
we can all do to be Greener
What does it
mean to be green?
“Being green means
that we live our lives in
a way which looks
after the planet for
future generations.”
How can we
be green?
Reception Have prepared a
song for everyone
Its our World!
It’s our world, we’re the children of tomorrow
Yes it’s our world, we want the trees and grass to
grow
Though we are young, we all realise
The little things we do make a difference
So let’s all care for our world
Care for the world
By not wasting precious water
Care for the world
Saving energy so let’s all pull together
Every boy and girl
Let’s make sure that we recycle every day
Plastic, paper, clothes and bottles
Don’t throw them away.
It’s our world everybody everywhere
Yes it’s our world let’s all show how much we
care
Though we are young, we all realise There’s so
much we can do
And we promise that we’ll care, as it’s our world
Care for the world
By not wasting precious water
Care for the world
Saving energy so let’s all pull together
Every boy and girl
Let’s make sure that we recycle every
day
Plastic, paper, clothes and bottles
Don’t throw them away.
It’s our world, we’re the children of

This week our Green
Council will be running
workshops for Blackpool’s
First Sustainability
Conference which we are
holding at Palatine High
School.
We have over 210 delegates
from 32 primary schools
attending.
We also have 25
environmental organisation
supporting the event.
Your work over the next two
days will support our
conference.
What we would like you to do on
these Green Days!
• we would like you to design A4 posters, how we can be greener - one on each of the following themes. – Energy, water, waste, conservation, travel & transport, litter and school grounds. •Choose an animal species which is endangered. Explore why the animal is endangered eghabitat destruction. Discuss solutions. Whose responsibility is it to protect species. It would be good to have some art work and written work to go on display in school around this topic. Why not begin with different conservation organisations.•Discuss as a class- how small steps / changes to behaviours / routines can lead to big differences and improvements in the environment. As a class and as individuals children to make pledges – to change a behaviour at home which will make them greener eg recycle all paper, recycle all plastic bottles etc – this can be done in different ways – a) asking classes to be creative and build their own pledge out of recycled materials ( collage), b) by use of green footsteps c) short video pledges, and d) a wall wisher on the Blog (which will be active on 18th June.)
YOU HAVE ALL DONATED £1 FOR GREEN
DAYS THIS YEAR.
THIS MONEY WILL BE USED TO ADOPT:-
Orang-utans and support the Orangutan rehabilitation centre ,

To finish our Green Day
assembly the choir would like
to
sing one final song.
Together we can change the
world
Thank you for listening
Please enjoy the next two
days.
Think about how you can
change the world for the
better!
