Building on their findings, the pupils and Mrs Henshaw then planned a year of action designed to advance their school’s green credentials, improve their local environment, and protect the planet.
The Eco-Committee connected their work to three eco-schools topics - biodiversity, school grounds and Energy.
They then planned a variety of projects including Wear it Wild, Black out Friday and Environmental week based around environmentally themed books.
Mrs Henshaw said “The children’s dedication and passion to save the planet has been inspiring.”
