Re-cycling Workshop

This week the Green Team organised and ran an after school workshop where they invited children from all year groups to come along and decorate recycled jars to create products that they could use at home, such as pen pots, candle holders and savings jars. The children used glass pens to create a range of designs. They are now going to sell their finished products to raise money for the school charity on Friday 26th May after school with the FOO bake sale.
