Nursery Eco Promises
Following the success of our Eco Week, Earth Day and Energy Saving Home Challenge, the Nursery children have been making their eco promises.
The children and their families all selected an eco promise to make;
making space for nature
recycling more,
using less water
saving energy
Each of these family promises was represented by a colour.
The children each had the opportunity to tie their chosen ribbon to the Eco Promise Wall to create a rainbow of ribbons on our Eco Promise Wall.
Thank you to all our Knockbreda families for helping to support our Eco School!
