Animal Ambassadors

August 31st 2022

Welcome to our Animal Ambassadors page!

We held our first meeting of the year today and everyone is really excited to be part of this group.

We talked about the different things we could do at home, at school and in the wider community to help animals. We had some great ideas, e.g. Making a bug hotel, growing plants to support the bees, not littering and reusing items to create artwork. It was lovely to see the children thinking about the smallest of our creatures, the insects, as these are usually forgotten in favour of the cuter and cuddlier ones. Well done, team! We will be exploring these and more ideas over the coming months…

Please find below the minutes of our first meeting:

Date: 31.8.22
Points from previous meeting:
This is our first meeting of the year!
Main discussion points from today:

Today we all introduced ourselves to other members of our group. We begin to
think about some things that we can do in our school to help animals, particularly
in our woods area. We came up with these ideas:

• Create bird feeders in the Winter to hang on the trees in the woods
• Bring speakers into the school to talk to everyone about animals
• Make bug hotels in the woods
• Create fact files about animals that live in the woods and hang these up in
the woods so that people can learn about them.

Focus Article:
Article 12 – you have the right to have your opinion listened to and taken seriously.

Action Points:
• Contact people to see if they can come to our school to teach us about
animals.
• Continue to think of other ways we can help animals before the next meeting.

Points from previous meeting:

· These ideas will be discussed at next meeting and we will begin to look at costs.

Focus Article:
