At St Mark’s, we believe that small changes have a big impact!
This week during Earth Week we are encouraging everyone in our St Mark's Family to make a pledge to make a small change which will make a big impact to our Earth.
Watch Miss French and the teachers make their pledges in this video. Click here.
What will your pledge be?
Look at pledges made by children here.
On Wednesday, we would like you to think about a small change you can make at home to protect our environment and make a pledge. This is where you commit to doing something. Here are some examples of what you can pledge!
Write your pledge on a piece of paper and decorate! You can then put this somewhere at home to remind you of your pledge!
Then, create an action plan. How can you achieve this? Think of different ways you can check your progress. Here are some examples:
Make sure you watch the video on the St Mark’s website which shows Miss French making her pledge and creating an action plan to help her stick to it! Please ask an adult at home to email a photo of your pledge or of you holding up your pledge to LYLS@stmarks.bwmat.org . Please put the subject as Earth Day. We are going to make a collage of these to share on the school website.
Miss French's THANK YOU video
Miss French has made a special video thanking you all for your wonderful Earth Day pledges. Keep turning your pledges into action to help our Planet. Remember, at St Mark’s we believe that every small change can make a big difference. If you did not make a pledge, perhaps you can choose one you see on this video and make it yours.
Activities for world Earth Day
Earth Day is a very special day where we celebrate our earth and think about how we can help protect it. This week, we would like you to take part in activities which celebrate Earth Day and think about making a difference! How many of these can you complete this week?
Watch Mrs Elliott spotting wildlife in her back garden.
Watch Mrs Howling make a bird feeder for her back garden.
Watch Miss French make a mini Earth Day book. Make one for our Earth Day library back in school.
Most importantly, have fun celebrating Earth Day with your family! Look on the St Mark’s website for videos of teachers completing some of these activities at home! There will be a special activity to complete on Earth Day. Check back on the website on Wednesday for information on this!
