3/4A is participating in an Australian first - an international environmental education program with Pilsley Church of England Primary school in Derbyshire, England. The program is call 'Eco Schools Twinning Program', where schools are matched globally with a sister school to share student experiences of environmental learning and action to promote awareness, sustainability and change.
Below is a recount from Bethany, Hannah and Charlotte who recently enjoyed their school visit to the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show. The girls wanted to share this with 3/4A and our community here in Oxley Park.
"I really enjoyed all of the show, however my favourite part was the Great Conservatory which was filled to the brim with every colour of orchid. There was a myriad of other gob-smacking things!" - Bethany
"My favourite part was when I saw a giant hat with flowers underneath which went up and down. We also made some wooden necklaces with our names on one side and a picture on the other". - Hannah
"The upcycled planters were my favourite part because they were all different and unique. Ours was based on George's marvellous medicine. It contains lots of herbs". - Charlotte
Thanks for sharing Pilsley Primary School! We look forward to sharing more of our exciting environmental adventures and initiatives in the future!
