Listen to understand

We should listen to:

    • our mum
    • our dad
    • our brother
    • our sister
    • our friend
    • our teachers
    • everyone

We listen to find out
Everybody should be listened to
We should listen to other people
Because it could be important
We should know to speak when it is appropriate

Preserve the Planet

By Danielle 10, Christine 10, Bohdan 10, Christina 11

  • Try to look after the Planet by recycling all waste and looking after living things. Also try not to drop litter.
  • Drop your rubbish in the bin (if you can't recycle it)
  • Recycle as much as possible, for example, paper, so that we can save trees
  • Don't cut any old trees down, only cut it when it's overcrowded.
  • Cut down on pollution (fumes)
  • Don't take precious wildlife . taking tusks off elephants .
  • Taking tiger skin and eating shark fin soup is wrong .
  • Don't kill for the sake of it. Cut down on packaging, use the same bag.
  • Wash out bags and don't use paper bags.
