Are you an Eco-School or thinking about joining the Eco-Schools Programme?

Great news, all schools in England can now use their participation in Outdoor Classroom Day as Evidence for their Eco-schools Green Flag application.

Outdoor Classroom Day is an excellent way for schools to celebrate and share the amazing work they do to protect and conserve the environment. It’s also a great opportunity for those schools starting their outdoor learning journey to take those first steps. From Energy Police to Scooter Safety there are loads of ideas and activities to be found at http://eco-schools.org.uk/ or https://uk.pinterest.com/ecoschoolsengla/boards/

“No matter the weather we are actively encouraging our Eco-Schools to get outside on 18th May: hug a tree, plant seeds, splash in puddles, lie in the grass, smell the flowers, spot creepy crawlies, run around in the fresh air but most importantly have fun and learn outside of your four classroom walls.” Lee Wray-Davies, Eco-schools England
