The Green Oscars
Our Climate Change Eco Ambassadors attended the Brighton and Hove Young Environmentalist Awards ceremony last night. They won the Climate Change award for all their hard work helping and encouraging others to play their part in preventing climate change. They were presented with a special trophy (of recycled materials, of course) and a £1000 for the school to spend on future eco friendly initiatives. Well done to Joey, Madeleine, Ruby, Harry, Grace, Emelia, Monica, Georgia, Jessica and Ariel all in Year 5 for doing such a great job! Thank you to Ms Layzell who works with the team and who nominated the team for the award.
Climate Change Eco Ambassadors on Newsround
Our Eco warriors appeared on Thursdays Newsround to discuss the new marine life law. The law is about protecting marine life but unfortunately does not include protecting their habitats. The children were asked to comment on the new law.
Eco Café
Our Eco Warriors raised over £100 from their wonderful Eco Café. The Café was visited by lots of hungry children and adults on Tuesday. They enjoyed a variety of healthy snacks and in doing so helped the Eco Warriors raise awareness of climate change issues. They will be donating half their funds to Oxfam and the other half to Middle Street to put towards future climate change initiatives.

Festival Parade Workshops
The theme of this year’s parade is ‘Children’s Games’ Middle Street are going as noughts and crosses. Everyone should be dressed in black and white. Please prepare over the holidays and be as flamboyant as you wish dressed in a burlesque or circus style, as a strong man or woman, black berets, black and white faces, I think you get the idea.
Parents/carers are invited to come along to help prepare for the children’s festival parade in May. The workshops take place next week in the school hall on Monday 7th Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th April from 10.00 am – 2.00 pm. Please come along and help to make this the best Middle Street entry yet!
