Proud recipients of our Climate Ready Classroom Certificates!
All pupils from across our partnership participated in a Climate Ready Classroom event day today.
Schools from across Dumfries and Galloway linked together online to take part in three themed workshops. By taking part in Climate Ready Classrooms (CRC) for Primary Schools, our pupils were able to:• Develop an understanding of the basics of what climate change is and why it is happening.
• Improve their understanding of the importance of biodiversity and how all species are connected and interdependent.
• Explore thoughts and worries around the climate change and biodiversity crises and why we should have hope.
• Identify opportunities to take action to tackle the climate change and biodiversity crises, working with local authority aims.
Looking ahead, as part of empowerment and leading their own learning, the children created their own Climate Action Pledge. All pledges will be shared across the region to create an overview of learner voices and learner’s action. The actions identified by the children will feed into our partnership’s Eco Schools topic for Climate Action going forward.
