NATURE-LOVING children enjoyed a week learning about the environment.
Pupils at Two Village Primary School, in Ramsey, focussed on climate change and how we can care for our world.
In Year 6, pupils learnt about plastic and why it can be so harmful to the environment.
They designed presentations to showcase this knowledge and educate others.

In Year 5, the pupils focussed on the Amazon Rainforest.
They looked at how the ecosystem there is under threat, producing presentations and collage maps using natural materials to show the location of the world’s rainforests.
Year 3 and 4 pupils learnt about the impact of overfishing and plastic pollution on the oceans.
