We are proud to announce that the Eco-Committee at George Dent Nursery School have been awarded anEco-SchoolsGreen Flag. Although our children are very young they have been joining in and contributing to meetings; championing the Eco-cause. After conducting an environmental review we decided to develop insect habitats and planting and nurturing fruit and vegetables as well as composting and recycling.
This year we will continue with the mindfulness, gardening, food activities and recycling. We have collected quite a number of crisp packets which we are beginning to turn into blankets for the homeless.

Now we are looking to Level 3! For this we have to undertake a mini project. Suggestions include:
