ECO Roadshow
The Year 3/4 eco council members and some children from gardening club attended the Eco Roadshow on Thursday. The children discussed how we could make our school grounds better for wildlife and the importance of clean air and how cycling/walking to school helps with this. We also enjoyed a workshop from a member of staff at Twycross Zoo and investigating what happens if we lose a species from an ecosystem. The goats at Millgate kept us entertained at break time - we would like goats at Stokes Wood!
Visit from James Veness from Energy Sparks
The school council worked with James to investigate ways in which the school could reduce the energy it uses (reducing its carbon footprint). They also investigated where heat was produced in the school and where it might be lost.
He visited Year 3 and presented a fantastic assembly about the Antarctic, its animal life, climate, his trip and the historical stories about it.
