Recycling Week
To mark ‘Recycle Week’, the Eco Warriors talked about the importance of recycling and why it is important to us and the environment around us. They went on a little pick around school to improve the schools grounds and looked through the rubbish to see if they could find any litter they could recycle or reuse.
