Eco Hero Performance

This morning we met in the hall and watched a performance by Mr Eco an Environment Rap Eco Hero.   Don't be a litter bug.

Mr Eco sang some rap songs including Litter Bug, Bag Monster, Straw Wars, Save the Fish and Mr Eco Anthem.

His most important message was that Saving our planet and our Wildlife depend's on us and how we stop littering and recycling.
