Climate Action Week Scotland – 23rd-30th Sept

Our P2 &  P5-7 classes participated in a live lesson and workshop as part of ‘Climate Action Week’. Our Eco Committee have been working hard already this year, and in our classes, we were keen to learn  more about climate change.

The live lesson was lead by Nicola Davidson (KSB), who explained how the effect of our lifestyles through the ages has lead to climate changes and how an American Scientist, Eunice Newton- Foote, discovered  the ‘Greenhouse gas effect’ in the 1950s, showing our planet was ‘heating up’ due to increased CO2. This was officially recognised by governments globally in the 1980s and now we are seriously trying to make positive changes to combat this through world climate conferences such as the upcoming, COP30, in Brazil.  In Primary 2,  Miss Livingston’s class were treated to a puppet show.

Here are some photos of our workshop and live lesson…
