I’m most grateful to Mike Blatch from Oyster Design, who is working with Year 6 to produce a professional-quality printed booklet containing the school’s Eco Code.  We will have more news on this as the project nears completion.

 These learning opportunities resonate with a paragraph from our school vision statement which invites us to …

 “Listen to the buzz of excitement as people learn from each other.  Hear them asking questions, pursuing solutions and learning skills that will prepare them to stand strong, making a positive difference in God’s world.” 

At the end of last year, children in Year 6 were studying environmental issues, including Climate Change.  As part of this, they submitted work to be considered for inclusion in the ‘International Climate Challenge’ booklet ‘Hear Our Voices’.  This features the work and ideas of children and young people from around the world.  You can find the whole booklet on their website.

I’m delighted to report that both Becky O’Rourke and Emily Hawkins had work published in the booklet and all of the children learned a great deal about one of the great challenges that our world faces.
