Our word of the week has been 'Sustainability'. We have been thinking about how we can be more sustainable and how climate change is affecting our planet and all of us, both in Newcastle and across the world.

Climate change means that the weather is changing. This has always happened, with the earth getting hotter or colder, since the world began. But in the last 100 years the world is warming up a lot because of the choices that people make. Some of the things that people do mean that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are made; these gases go into the air and make a layer like a blanket so the world warms up.

Sometimes it seems as if it would be nice to have hotter, drier weather.

But is it still nice when there isn’t enough water to have baths or showers whenever you want? Or the trees and bushes start dying because there isn’t enough water?

It isn’t too late to make a difference.

Our school Eco-Code can help us make a difference. Our Eco-Code is a set of rules that we have agreed to follow to make sure we are sustainable.

We recycle so we can reuse our precious resources.

We pick up litter to help the environment, our wildlife and the seas.

We raise money to support environmental charities.

Our planet is special to us. Every hand can help us make our planet a place to shine.

What can you do to make a difference at home?
