‘Eco Reds’ trip for The Orchards

Four students from The Orchards visited Old Trafford to attend the ‘Eco Reds’ event where they learnt about how to help protect the planet and encourage everyone to be more eco-friendly. It was a great day which included trying on David Beckham’s and Wayne Rooney’s football boots, football shirts worn by Peter Schmeichel and even world-cup winner Lionel Messi. The group also tried on some bags made from old football shirts! Children returned to school full of ideas on how they can help the school and the local community to be more eco-friendly. The aim now is to support children across The Orchards to recycle paper in the classrooms.
