Green Day

On Friday, the children (and Staff!), all celebrated Green Day by wearing many different shades of green and donated £2 each to restore twenty acres of  the Harapan forest in Sumatra.

The Pre-prep children have all been involved this week with turning our Assembly Room into an amazing rainforest! 

Form I children have made some super slithering snakes and colourful macaws, Form 2 have made beautiful butterflies and fabulous orangutans and Form 3 have painted wonderful tigers.



They were all treated to an excellent workshop run by the RSPB, which culminated in each child making their own bird food cone, to hang either in their own gardens or in the Pre-prep garden.

In the Prep School, 5A explained in their assembly how the loss of the rain forests is known by us all to be a major contributor to climate change, and to be driving many species to extinction, within our life time. One of the most important and diverse forests is the Harapan forest in Sumatra. Usually we just feel hopeless in the face of " a football pitch sized area being lost every second!" But in sumatra, the RSPB has started an exciting, rejuvenating project to buy up areas of the forest that have burnt down, joining up the surviving areas, and repairing the forest. £28 buys the repair, replanting and protection of a hectare, so, by our Green non-uniform day, and Sunday collection, we have restored about 20 hectares of forest! That's a really positive result!
