Local school celebrates Earth Day

All the children at Midsomer Norton Primary School (MSNP) wore green to represent plants and new life in nature.

They were asked to bring in seeds or plants to support the school's Eco-Schools Action Plan. They are creating a ‘no-mow’ tranquil area with all the seeds contributed by the school's pupils - the peaceful spot will grow freely and encourage bees and butterflies. As a school they are concentrating on maximising the biodiversity of the grounds and keeping the area litter free.

All the classes took part in art based activities, making a pledge to our planet and they also had an Eco assembly by Ms Biss.

"It’s essential to protect our planet and invest in our future because if we don’t take action now, we will lose 50% of the world’s species which will contribute to the collapse of the world’s food chain." - William, Jupiter Class
