The Eco Committee have decided to work on these 3 areas this year:

• biodiversity
• school grounds
• marine

Last week, the whole school took part in a Planet Action Workshop which looked at how the natural world impacts our minds. In the classroom, the children looked at a scientific study which showed the value of time spent outside for boosting problem solving and other thinking skills. They then took part in an experiment to see how their ability to concentrate changed with different background noises. They then spent lots of time outside making up activities and games designed to address specific wellbeing challenges that they might face such as making friends, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed.
