Quote submitted by teacher: “We really enjoyed our super learning week! Philip managed to cover the whole school with the carousel format. Both the Green shoots and Up-cycling workshops were well received year by yr groups 7 to 10. We learned that food miles were greater than we imagined. The seedlings in paper pots were taken home to grow and pupils that didn’t have an garden, we’re able to use our newly constructed raised beds.
The four days of green workshops, will be used as evidence towards our Eco Schools Silver Flag award. Thanks for a memorable Super Learning Week”.

“Our Eco day was a thoroughly enjoyable day for all the girls at Streatham and Clapham. We were really lucky to have the company Green Up Your Act come in to carry out some fantastic workshops that encouraged the girls to think about the environment, and supply them with ideas on how to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle at home and school. The workshops were educational, hands on and lots of fun! The up-cycled juice cartons were a particular favourite.”

Feedback submitted by teacher: ”Fantastic, the kids really enjoyed having a new face to teach them about the importance of sharing the earth’s resources. They particularly enjoyed the practical aspect of the lesson – using tetra packs (which are so difficult to recycle), to make something useful they could take home.”
