This week has been full of excitement and we are all looking forward to the PTA’s very special event tonight! First let us bring you some news from our stars this week!
Three pupils from P5 - Rowan, along with twin sisters, Lily and Grace - all took part in a Q&A session as part of a Zoom interactive programme with the WWF on Friday 5th June. The theme centred on the threats to orangutans’ habitat and to communities of people living in jungles in Malaysia. The pressures come from the huge environmental impact of the intensive farming of palm oil trees and deforestation.
Questions were put forward by the three pupils and one question even got answered “live” by the programme presenter, which was very exciting! WWF answered that they would like to encourage companies to use a logo like Fairtrade, but companies are afraid to use this logo because palm oil gets such negative publicity.
Well done, our Eco super stars for articulating their questions so well!
Last year the very talented girl, Niamh, from P2 built a robin house at Greenville Park Fun Day and this year there is a robin nesting in it! The chicks have been getting fed by their mum and dad and will be ready to leave the nest soon!
