Blue Peter

Blue Peter came for a visit to Chesterton Primary to see the good work of our school gardening club. They interviewed our children about their plans for planting this Spring and awarded them all with a Blue Peter ‘Green Badge’ which represents their fabulous contribution to helping the environment.

The children are showing off their badges alongside Mwaksy, the Blue Peter presenter. The children were part of this Blue Peter episode on the television.
