Over the Easter holidays Year 8 pupils have undertaken some fundraising activities to support the development of their social entrepreneurship projects. They have had a lot of fun completing a variety of activities from bake sales, sponsored runs to magic shows and Rubix cube challenges and have managed to raise over £4100 for our chosen charity: Climate Ed!
Climate Ed is a fantastic cause for the students to focus their fundraising efforts on as it is dedicated to educating young people about climate change and focuses on carbon literacy. Climate Ed aim to give children the knowledge and the motivation to get involved with the issue and discover that climate action can be fun. Through this they also aim to make children less anxious about the issue, by giving them a message of hope and positivity. Climate change is currently not part of the primary school national curriculum and Climate Ed hope to fill that gap.
