Whilst on our #climatejusticenow march we stopped off at Greggs to sing a thank you song for providing us with food every day to make sure no child goes hungry. Thank you for our toast and bagels! @GreggsOfficial #SDG2 @bitesizeSDGs @MrGACunningham pic.twitter.com/xkVfkww3HG

We value pupil voice and these pupils value the Right to be happy.
These Young leaders have set up the βRight to Be happy Groupβ. They have made booklets and flashcards and even a bracelet for me. They want to make sure that everyone in Carmuirs is happy. pic.twitter.com/3t1tdNtoM3

Our Blue Elephant in Kenya
Blue Ellie has been to Kenya staying at Kakuma Refugee Settlement. She has been doing a joint STEM project between our schools.
We loved hearing the answers on @Flipgrid to our questions from the children at Kakuma Vocational Center in Kenya. Looks like Blue Ellie is learning lots. We know we have similar pets, but in Scotland we donβt have wild giraffes. @KVC45966042 @bitesizeSDGs @LfSScotland pic.twitter.com/vfbxOOkyAm
