Biodiversity

Biodiversity

This year we are applying for our 8^th Green School Flag. This flag is for Biodiversity. We have been working on this as a school for two years. At first the children had no idea what all of this entailed but by now they can speak knowledgeably about it.

Biodiversity is the huge variety and variation of life that surrounds us, from the tiniest bugs to the biggest whales in the sea.

It is the basis for all our lives and without it we would simply cease to exist! We are currently losing it at alarming rates! Simple steps can help maintain and enhance it! Biodiversity as a theme slots easily into the curriculum!

On 8^th March we had our school inspection. Dean Eaton came to see our displays, play and garden which incorporated all we had done on Biodiversity. He spoke with our Green School Committee. Our application is now in and fingers crossed we will be flying our 8^th Flag shortly.
