Greenschools Update: February
On February the 8th we began our Greenschools Activity week from home! These activities looked at the Global Goals, raising awareness around the Global Goals and encouraged us to think about how we can help to achieve these goals from home and in school. The children looked at videos, completed surveys and wordsearches, completed art activities and took part in outdoor Global Colour walks. We had a great response and it was super to see so many children engage with Greenschools while at home. Take a look at some of the super work that was sent in.
4 th class have spent the year in St Mary’s Hall. They thought it a good idea to find out a little bit more about this important building in our parish and to share what they learned with their school mates.
