Ethical Fashion
Dear all,
The following students have volunteered to take part in a customise your old / own clothes session tomorrow during P1 to P4 with myself, Ms Leonida and the educator coordinator from Traid. They will also receive a talk on ethical issues in fashion and ways of overcoming this.
I hope this does not cause any inconvenience to your classes. They will be in lessons 6 and 7.
Many thanks,
Rhiannon Scutt
Taking place on Thursday 12th June. Pics to follow!

WWF Conference
Here are the details of the workshops we will be attending at the WWF Conference.
Valuing our future - leading sustainable schools
This workshop, run by NCSL, will discuss what sustainability means and consider ways in which schools can become more sustainable. It will share the findings of a research study conducted by WWF to explore what sustainability currently looks like in schools and consider the skills and characteristics of those who are leading this important agenda.
The workshop will also share the NCSL sustainability toolkit which aims to help schools audit their current position and provides ideas for action that will help schools to operate in a more sustainable way.
Giving pupils a voice
This workshop, run by practising teachers Nina Bernstein and Frances Thomson, will focus on how to unlock pupil voices in your school. It will explore ideas of how to make it happen, how to include all children, and the skills that children need to develop in order to participate. This highly participatory workshop will generate practical ideas that can be used in your school.
Inspired by our fragile planet
The workshop, being run by Marilyn Groves from the English Chamber Orchestra, will involve participating in music, drama and movement activities which can be used with children in the classroom to raise awareness and communicate the importance to others of caring for our fragile planet. Creative inspiration will be taken from the food we eat and the impact the choices we make can have on the other side of the world. Dividing into smaller groups, participants will create: a soundscape to evoke the journey of certain foods (including a banana) from source to plate, the countries through which the food might travel and the music it might ‘hear’ on its journey; a song, scat or chant to trace that journey from source to plate and on to disposal; an improvised scene taking place in a fruit market in the Caribbean or a supermarket in Brent Cross. Lots of creative thinking, no performing arts skills required and absolutely no pressure!
From my space to our space: It takes a whole village
Every action of every individual counts, but it’s the ‘multipliers’ that make the impact! This workshop, run by the Campaign for Learning provides a holistic approach to developing Sustainable Schools and offers creative and practical ideas to mobilise kids, staff, families and whole communities to reduce, reuse and recycle. There will be an opportunity to explore the ‘how to’ of getting every family involved, as well as examples of activities, including planning an Eco Story Safari, a Changing Spaces photographic project, making beautiful mosaics from recycled materials and running a ‘Don’t Feed Your Dustbin’ Family Feast day.
