After meeting staff and governors, Danielle met our Eco Committee and talked about our school’s carbon footprint.
The children were then able to identify that one of the school’s main carbon footprints is due to travel to and from school. The Eco Committee then suggested that children could walk to school, car share with pupils that live near them or use public transport to help reduce our footprint.
It was fantastic to welcome City Of Trees to our school last week. City of Trees plant trees to create better, greener places; to boost health and wellbeing; to enhance green skills; and to tackle the climate and biodiversity emergency.
Many of the children were proud to have the opportunity to help plant the trees around our school grounds. We are looking forward to watching them grow and hopefully harvesting some fruit from the fruit trees!
