East Ayrshire Children and Young People’s Climate Conference 2021

We were so happy to be invited to the EAC Children and Young People’s Climate Conference via TEAMS today.  We joined with other primary 7 classes across the authority to listen to speeches and take part in question sessions using the interactive presentation app, MENTI.

The 4 main themes for today’s conference were ENERGY, WASTE, TRANSPORT and ENVIRONMENT.  The council also launched their new Clean Green School Award which our 2 Class Climate Reps and House Captains, Aiden and Mason, will be taking forward.

At the end of the afternoon, all children were encouraged to make a Green Pledge; something they will strive to do to help with the climate crisis.  Here are some of our pupils sharing their pledges:

Class Charter

Today Primary 7 started building towards their class charter.

We discussed the SHANARRI indicators (Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible, Included) and how they link to some of the UN Children’s Rights articles.

We chose 8 articles in our groups to best represent each of the SHANARRI indicators and matched them up.

Our next step is to plan a theme for our class charter and choose our final 5 core rights for our class charter.
