Today, Year 5 celebrated Earth day which is a celebration of the planet as well as an opportunity to talk about how we need to protect it. The first-ever Earth Day was held in the United States in 1970, when 20 million people took to the streets to protest about big environmental issues, including oil spills, polluted rivers and climate change.
The theme for Earth Day 2026 is ‘Our power, Our planet’ and focuses on clean air, clean water, clean energy, protected natural resources and climate stability. Today we have been looking at ways that we can protect and save our planet. What can you do to look after the environment Year 5?
We focused on how to help the world to have clean air, clean water, clean energy, protected natural resources and climate stability.
Today we learnt about Earth Day and how to keep our planet healthy and safe. We also learned about how to keep the environment clean and make sure that there is no litter, if we throw something you can’t leave it on the floor otherwise it will be littering and that is unsafe and bad for the environment.
