In Great Crosby's Recycling Club, we are doing several activities to help the environment.

As a starter we have been given a generous donation from Sacred Heart Catholic College- a metal whale. We are filling this whale with empty non-recyclable plastic bottles. We are also hanging painted jellyfish on the whale that are also made out of plastic bottles. Once the whale is full we will be floating it on a lake. 

Next, we have been filling plastic milk bottles to make eco-bricks. We have been building plant pots and chairs out of these for our peace garden, which is environmentally friendly. 

Secondly, we are collecting Christmas cards to recycle them. By recycling them, we are going to make Christmas tags out of them for later this year.

We have Reception places available for September 2020. On Wed 23rd Oct, we have an Open Day with tours of the school starting at 9.30am, 10.30am, 1.30pm and 2.30pm. Please ring 0151 924 8661 to book a place. See our Admissions page for details of how to apply for primary school places.

Black History Month has been celebrated each October in the UK for nearly 40 years, to help to broaden everybody's knowledge of Black History.
