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.
Inseparable: Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor in Carry on Christmas

It was no surprise that the first wave of obituaries for Dame Barbara Windsor, who died this week at 83 following a six-year struggle with Alzheimer’s, featured images of scenes she’d shared with Kenneth Williams. They went together like boiled beef and carrots, and were no less London-flavoured than Harry Champion’s song of that name. Williams could hide it well – most of us think of him first in his posh mode – but his birthplace in Barnsbury, Islington was a walkable distance from Barbara’s first address, in Shoreditch. Powerfully different personalities though they were, each saw something local and familiar in the other; an odd-couple friendship that would last 24 years until his death in 1988.

National treasure Dame Barbara Windsor died on Thursday night, aged 83. This was long-expected, but it is still a shock she was indestructible showbiz royalty. As Joan Collins rightly says: Showbusiness has lost a legend.
Her final years were clouded by Alzheimer s disease, which first became apparent in 2014 when she could no longer learn her lines and she d always been what is called in the profession a quick study .
Through sheer persistence, Babs managed to keep playing Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders for a further two years. Once she could no longer perform, she channelled her energy into the Alzheimer s Society. In an open letter to the Government, she wrote: My heart goes out to the many, many people who are really struggling to get the care they so desperately need.
