Earth Day
Wednesday 22nd April is Earth Day.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth day!
Earth day is a day where we focus on how we can look after our planet. We can all help our planet by reducing our use of plastic, recycling and decreasing the amount of electricity we use.
Here are some activities you could do for Earth day:
Create some Earth day art, here are some examples:
Make a mini word. You could use lego, make buildings from cardboard and toilet roll tubes, use your imagination!
Make tin can drums. The top is a cut balloon! You could even put grains of rice or small seeds inside to make a shaker.
Earth day challenges:
- Don't use any electricity for a whole hour!
