This term Primary 5 have been learning about sustainability. The pupils found out where different foods come from and the carbon footprint they create because of this. They have also learned about air pollution and how it can affect us.

Following this, the pupils came up with their own sustainable snacks, made with local ingredients. In their groups, they developed their products, coming up with unique selling points and appealing adverts. The children then presented their products to the rest of the class and received feedback from their audience, well done Primary 5!
