Year 3 and Year 4 had a fantastic time learning about climate change; what causes it and what it is caused by. They spent time thinking about how to reduce the effects of climate change and what they could do themselves.

They took part in exciting and engaging activities developing their knowledge further. In the first task, they worked collaboratively to put the stages of erosion in order. Secondly, they categorised common and not-so-common organisms into plants, animals, minerals or other. The last and most popular activity was creating their own plastic out of kelp.

Thanks to Blair from the Stronger Shores project, which is an innovation project funded by DEFRA and led by South Tyneside Council exploring the use of natural habitats as a means of protecting our coasts.
