My name is Kyla, and I am extremely excited to help our school become even more eco-friendly. I love to learn about wildlife, and I think it would be a good idea to create a space in our school where I share my love and knowledge about wildlife and plants to help grow a stronger eco-committee in school. I look forward to working alongside the planet power team to help improve our environment.

Our Planet Power Ambassadors
Planet Power is led by Kayla and Charlie who are both in Year 6 at Alder Tree Primary Academy. They work in collaboration with representatives from all other year groups to drive rapid eco related change.
My name is Charlie, and I am here to help make a nice, eco-friendly school. I love nature and I want the children in our school to be more caring about our planet. I am ready to help make our school a cleaner and more environmentally friendly space that children can enjoy. I love to work with others and think I will do a great job of teaching younger children how they can protect our planet.
