As part of an initiative marking Earth Day pupils in primary schools in England and Wales will be taught about the importance of recycling.

On the 22nd April, Healthy Planet will be giving free interactive and fun lesson plans to all primary school teachers in England and Wales. According to the charity each lesson plan contains all the resources required and contains the national curriculum goals set6 for each age group.

Pupils will learn about Earth Day in an age appropriate way including the importance of trees, finding out what a carbon footprint is and evaluating the importance of recycling.
