P5, P6 and P7 Biosphere Explorers!
The Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere has a vision to make life in our Biosphere better while caring for the natural environment. A key strand of this is the education of the next generation biosphere residents in sustainable development, increasing awareness and connections with the ‘working countryside’.
The Biosphere Explorers project, run by the Crichton Carbon Centre and funded by the Hollywood Trust and the Galloway Glens Scheme, is working towards this aim with an education programme delivered in schools consisting of a series of workshops aimed at increasing knowledge of the local natural environment and human interactions with it. This project will run for two years and will be focussed on school age children, with elements for all residents of the area.
Our P5, P6 and P7 pupils will be participating in these workshops each each Tuesday afternoon (from 29th October) led by the Biosphere Explorers Officer, Shalla Gray. The sessions will include:
Please ensure that pupils have brought their outdoor clothing with them on these days.
Pokemon Cards
Many of our pupils are enjoying bringing Pokemon cards to school so that they can swap them with their friends. Unfortunately, we are experiencing several incidents on a daily basis where pupils are disagreeing about swapping cards. Although we have tried to support pupils in using the cards appropriately, these discussions are now eating into our learning in other areas. Therefore, I ask that you will support us in discouraging your child(ren) from bringing these cards to school. We appreciate your support on this matter.
