1. World Ocean's Day

 

Dear Pupils and Families,

As part of our Eco-Schools celebration for World Oceans Day, we’re inviting all pupils to take part in a fun and meaningful dress-up day on Tuesday 17th June!

 

👕 Your Homework:

Plan an outfit to wear that celebrates our oceans and shows your support for protecting our planet. You have two exciting options:

Wear Blue – to represent the ocean and show unity.

Create Your Own Sustainable Outfit – using recycled or reused materials to design something ocean-themed or eco-friendly!

 

Be as creative and eco-conscious as you can! Think about how your outfit can reflect the beauty of the sea or raise awareness about ocean pollution and marine life.

We can’t wait to see your amazing ideas and celebrate together!

Thank you for helping us make a difference,

The Eco Committee

Simba: Isn't this a great place?

Nala: It is beautiful.... But I don't understand something. You've been alive all this time. Why didn't you come back to Pride Rock?

Simba: Well, I just ... needed to get out on my own. Live my own life. And I did. And it's great!

Nala: We've really needed you at home.

Simba: {Quieter} No one needs me.

Nala: Yes we do! You're the king.

Simba: Nala, we've been through this. I'm not the king. Scar is.

Nala: Simba, he let the hyenas take over the Pride Lands.
