Fast Finishers
The children make eye-catching posters with slogans to be put up
at strategic points around the school, for example: Turn off the taps
after you clean your hands.

Wrap-up
The children brainstorm ideas to get the whole school involved in
making the school greener: We should recycle old exam papers and
make picture frames. We should collect rainwater in a barrel and use it
to water the plants at school.
