  The whole school came together on a wonderful Science project to explore how we can be good Stewards of our planet and make a positive difference. Reception explored litter, recycling and the impact this has on our planet, Year One looked into saving electricity and the use of fossil fuels.Year 3 learnt all about air pollution whilst Year 4 explored deforestation, Year 5 learnt all about water pollution and Year 6 delved deep into climate change.
