NATURE-LOVING children enjoyed a week learning about the environment.

Pupils at Two Village Primary School, in Ramsey, focussed on climate change and how we can care for our world.

In Year 6, pupils learnt about plastic and why it can be so harmful to the environment.

They designed presentations to showcase this knowledge and educate others.

They also created an awareness campaign featuring posters and badges and they wrote letters appealing for help from Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

In the early years foundation stage, children were busy learning about the environment, enhancing their outdoors learning area, planting and watering tomato, sunflower and strawberry plants and placing bird feeders.

They also learnt about recycling and made items from junk modelling.

Headteacher Natasha Bennett said: “I’m so delighted our children are not just learning but are actually making active changes in their lives to help reduce climate change and are sharing this vital message with others.

“It was a highly successful environmental week, packed with fun learning, information communication technology skills, creativity, letter-writing and such thoughtfulness and compassion for our world.

“I could not be prouder of my environmentalist teachers and pupils alike.”
