More than 140 of the playtime fun ideas were submitted by the children on the eco school’s day of action.

Deputy headteacher Caroline Sugden said: “Making a toy out of recycled material re-inforces our work as an eco school as the children can re-use items that would usually be thrown away. Children could use an egg box, can, plastic bottle or cardboard box.”
