The Year 4 and 5 pupils took part in fun workshops which explored how to tackle the Climate Emergency, what actions can have the greatest positive impact and how to talk about the issue. Pupils were also encouraged to take part in a sustainability school project and make a pledge to reinforce the principles they learned during the day.
