Spurred on by their Black History Month studies on Zambia and the inspirational recyling programmes there, Year Four has been debating whether or not we should be opting for single use plastic. Armed with their homework research notes, the young debaters postured arguments 'for' and 'against' this topical issue. It was a great opportunity for them to understand the opposing view and many, who were personally 'against' the continuation of single use plastic, took up the cudgels for the opposing stance for the sake of debate. It was a fantastically informed discussion and we have been so impressed by how the children have immersed themselves in this topic. Their knowledge and understanding shone through. Well done Year Four.

Year Four is fundraising for the ‘Kids Conservation Programme’ in Zambia. For every £250 raised, twenty school children in Zambia will attend an educational workshop at Lusaka National Park where they will learn about conservation.
