Green Britain Day A day to think about the things we can all do to be greener
What does it  mean to be  green ? “ Being  green  means that we live our lives in a way which looks after the planet for future generations.”
What is Green Britain Day? “ It’s a day where we can celebrate  all of the great  green  things we have done, and think about things we can  do to be even  greener  in the future.”
How can we  be  green ?

What have we  done to make  Polam Hall Junior  School  greener  ?
Built two greenhouses using recycled plastic bottles. Reduced the amount of paper used in the production of Buttercup News and Senior Focus.  Reduced the number of exercise books used in the Junior department.  Increased the awareness of the whole school community of FairTrade issues. Raised the awareness of the local community of environmental issues through our annual Art competition. Increased the ways we can reuse, reduce and recycle.  Increased the number of pupils participating in Medal Motion and Bikeability organised by Darlington Borough Council. Built a Bug Hotel to help insects survive the winter. Planted apple trees and fruit bushes and increased the variety of produce grown in our raised beds. We have:
In assembly we said a big  green  ‘Thank You’ to everyone! “ Together we have made our school  greener .  That has helped to make Britain a  greener  place too.”
What we did today on  Green Britain Day We gave everyone the opportunity to plant a sunflower seed to take home with them to grow on in their garden.  The flower head will provide nectar for insects in the Summer and seeds for the birds in the Winter.  This will also help support the  “ Save our bees campaign”
We want our school to keep up the good work, so we posed these questions… What can we do next year to make the school even  greener  ? How can we make our homes  greener  ?

Editor's Notes

  1. This assembly is designed to: introduce the idea of Green Britain Day remind children what it means to be green, and why this is important remind children how they have helped to make their school greener thank the children (and staff, parents etc.) for their help in making the school greener communicate / lead a discussion about what you will do to celebrate on Green Britain Day think ahead to how you can continue to help make your school, and Britain, a greener place over the next year
  2. Broadly introduce the concept of ‘being green’: caring for, protecting and improving the environment, both locally and globally. You may like to explain what ‘future generations’ means. Ask the pupils why we should care about people in the future. What would they think if they had to live in a world where: there wasn’t enough electricity for everyone there wasn’t enough clean water to drink there were few wild plants or animals?
  3. Emphasise that this is a celebration of all the work your school has done, but also an opportunity to plan ways in which you can be even greener in the future.
  4. Using the pictures as stimulus, ask the pupils how we can be greener in our everyday lives. Ideas may include: Switch off lights Turn off gadgets Say goodbye to standby Sort your rubbish for recycling Use low energy bulbs Don’t leave taps running Re-use plastic bottles - fill with tap water Re-use bags – say No! to plastic Feed birds Build bug hotels Plant trees and plants Grow your own vegetables Collect rainwater to water plants Fit water saving devices in toilets Cycle or walk to school Use public transport Wear warm clothes rather than turning the heating up during cold weather When using computers, only print things if you really need to Use both sides of a piece of paper
  5. Ask the students which of these things they do at home.
  6. Insert the name of your school. Ask pupils to name some of the green projects your school has undertaken over the last year before showing them the list on the next slide.
  7. List the green projects your school has undertaken in the last year. Ask pupils to say how they helped the school to be greener.
