Latest News - Eco Schools
This week it is our turn to litter pick around the school grounds so we headed out this afternoon. It was fun to use the litter picking sticks so the children were actually disappointed to find such a small amount of rubbish in our school grounds, just the odd tissue and bit of plastic. Well done Hart Memorial pupils for keeping our school grounds so clean and tidy.
Well done to the eco members who took key stage 1 assembly today. They shared our targets for this year and how we can achieve them.
