COP27 Week

What and when is COP27?

COP27 stands for the 27th Conference of the Parties. COP27 will take place in Sharm el-Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. It will take place from 7-17th November 2022. It’s an important summit that will be attended by representatives of all the countries that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

At the summit, the leaders of these countries will meet with climate change scientists, activists, campaigners, and other experts to discuss the measures that should be taken in the battle against the climate crisis.

Why is COP27 important?

COP27 is an important event because the latest science shows that climate change is moving a lot faster than we are.

This year, the main focus of COP27 must be implementation.

This is an activity you could do at home.

Coach Jacob

Today was Coach Jacob’s final session of rugby and reading as he is going on to begin his career in quantity surveying. Jacob has been such a positive role-model and he has had such a positive impact on our children. Jacob’s sister will be taking his place as our new coach so we still be in very good hands. Thank you so much Jacob, our staff and children will really miss you. Best wishes for the future ☺️

Italian food tasting! ??❤

This afternoon, we had the opportunity to sample a selection of Italian foods as part of our Geography topic learning all about Italian culture. The children were really excited about tasting new foods and particularly enjoyed the Gelato dessert!

Well done Year 4! ☺?

   

 

Let’s Get Real – Recycle Week

Recycle week is an annual event to promote and celebrate the importance of reducing our waste.

Managing the waste we produce through our everyday lives is important because we need to reduce, reuse and recycle resources.

This special week has been held since 2004 and its mission has been to encourage us to recycle more.

Together – We recycle 

Now is a great time to think about how our rubbish affects the world.

We can work together and step it up to help the climate crisis.
