To coincide with the global climate strike, the start of the day began with a special assembly which included a discussion of some of the issues surrounding Climate Change.  

After the assembly, children in Year 3 spent time in workshops where they calculated their carbon footprints and wrote postcards to themselves from an eco-friendly future.  Eco-Warrior Representatives from Year 5 and Year 6 were also on hand to help. 

Throughout the school each class followed up the assembly by writing a short pledge detailing an idea that they promise to do to reduce their carbon footprint.  All the ideas were written onto leaves to produce a very striking Stowford Pledge Tree display, currently to be seen in the school hall.  Some of the pledges include; “I pledge to eat less meat and I pledge to walk to school more often”.
