The Year 2 pupils at Studlands Rise First School have all been awarded green Blue Peter badges for their hard work towards the environment.
The children have had to complete three pledges based on the three Ps - saving power, reducing plastic and growing plants for a duration of two weeks, to enable them to become ‘supersized climate heroes’.
To achieve their power-saving mission, youngsters had to turn off an electrical device when they finish with it rather than leaving it on standby. They could also switch half an hour of screen time for 30 minutes of outdoor time.

Royston has been remembering the Great Gas Crisis this week - as Monday marked three decades since a gas surge caused fires and explosions across town.
Scores of memories have come flooding in as Roystonians recounted the community crisis that nearly blew the town off the map on the evening of March 8, 1991.
The enormous gas surge that headed into many of the towns homes caused explosions, including one at Greneway School, and fires - but also meant the town was sealed off and placed on red alert due to the threat of absolute devastation. Miraculously, the town remained intact.
