29 Jan Year 4’s views on their future heard in Parliament!
Last term, Year 4 read the wonderful text ‘The Great Kapok Tree’, a book about the animals of the Amazon rainforest pleading with a man who has fallen asleep, in their home, from exhaustion due to cutting down trees. Pupils engaged in a lively debate after researching the environmental impact and causes of deforestation.
They were inspired to write a letter to our local MP, Dr Rupa Huq, about the impact of deforestation. Rupa received 120 letters and has taken them into the Commons and showed them during a debate on the Environment Bill.
What a fantastic expression of Christ the Saviour pupils’ work and dedication of service to God’s creation.
I spoke in today's #EnvironmentBill debate.
Although minister offered warm words for @XtheSaviour primary y4, serious concerns remain regarding leaving the EU's REACH chemical regulator from @See_Chem_Bus and others https://t.co/RmCbbOT7t3
