Ollie Saves the Planet - Rap Song

Added: 24 Nov 2016 Contributor: Clare Quigley Resource type: Audio / Video

A catchy rap song and words which focuses on ways to protect our planet. The song introduces the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) and the need to care about air, water, energy and waste. A great way to integrate a topic on care for the environment into the music and PE curriculum (dance strand).
