Owls Class visited Bedes School for Earth Day, where a group of local schools came together to focus their attention on our relationship with planet Earth. It was a day dedicated to considering how people and the planet can live together more sustainably. This was a pupil-led initiative and was planned and coordinated by the Bede’s Senior Eco-Schools Group. They wanted to share this day with a number of other local schools in recognition that the celebration of and care for the planet is something that we all have in common. It will require us to sometimes come together for joint action, rather than tackling as individual schools. It is hoped that this might be the beginning of further joint events as partner schools.
As part of Earth day they took part in a world record attempt of having the largest number of people creating a map of the world. The image has now been submitted to Guinness World Records. The previous record was 479 people, 816 people took part in our record attempt!
