Proud recipients of our Climate Ready Classroom Certificates!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All pupils from across our partnership participated in\u00a0 a Climate Ready Classroom<\/em> event day today.<\/p>\n

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:\u2022 Develop an understanding of the basics of what climate change is and why it is happening.
\n\u2022 Improve their understanding of the importance of biodiversity and how all species are connected and interdependent.
\n\u2022 Explore thoughts and worries around the climate change and biodiversity crises and why we should have hope.
\n\u2022 Identify opportunities to take action to tackle the climate change and biodiversity crises, working with local authority aims.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, as part of empowerment and leading their own learning, the children created their own Climate Action Pledge.<\/em>\u00a0 All pledges will be shared across the region to create an overview of learner voices<\/strong> and learner’s action<\/strong>.\u00a0 The actions identified by the children will feed into our partnership’s\u00a0 Eco Schools topic for Climate Action going forward.<\/p>\n
