World Environment Day June 5th - Field Painting

We created a gigantic painting of the earth on their school field for World Environment Day on the 5th June. The painting is to urge decision makers to make systematic changes to ensure they have a sustainable future.

This painting was then the focus of an eco-fair picnic on the 7th June that had an open invitation to the community to attend with activities such as a forest school, nature hunt and solar karaoke. During this the children declared a Climate Emergency.

Within the continents and oceans of the Earth painting, each child will wrote a personal message or drawing of how they would change the system so that human activities can sustain their future.

A parent Jamie Wardley from Sand In Your Eye, a local art organisation and who helps organise the Eco-School says “The Earth is 30m wide and has been painted with football pitch paint and will fade away in a few weeks. Parents helped by carrying the heavy backpacks full of paint whilst the children spray their messages.”

We are an Eco-School and have held this status since 2023 for our environmental efforts.
