Description
Tuesday 16 July 2024 Growing for a Cause
Today the children will have some fun while learning about climate change and biodiversity and how it applies to them. During the day they will get out into nature and whilst having fun you will learn about their carbon footprint and you will come away excited about the difference you can make to help our planet and all the creatures on it.
Some of the day's activities will be held in Selwyn College's outdoor classroom in Selwyn Bush and the rest indoors.
What to bring
Lunch, snacks and a drink bottle. A pair of shoes for outdoors (might be muddy) and something to wear indoors. Raincoat/hat/sunblock according to the weather.
