The children and staff at Devonshire Hill Nursery & Primary School wore a flash of green while participating in our third year of the Mini Green Marathon. The school field was alive with chants of support and passionate announcements about the important topic of protecting our planet. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day with children running as many as 15 laps of our school field, that’s 2.5miles.

Not only does this energetic event benefit our health and wellbeing but it serves as an important reminder that we must look after the health of our planet too! During the run, children displayed their colourful posters with messages such as ‘Go Green’, ‘Recycle or Upcycle’, ‘Use Less Plastic’, ‘Say no to Idle Cars’, and ‘Keep Our Oceans Clean’. This powerful artwork has now been added to our Eco Schools display. Congratulations to everyone who took part!
