Sustrans Air Quality Day

 

On Thursday, we had a visit from Paul Turner from the charity 'Sustrans' which encourages children to use sustainable transport to travel to school.  He led an assembly for KS2 children, as well as a short workshop for each junior school class.  He was telling us about the quality of the air around us and the impact the use of cars has on the air we breathe. The children had the opportunity to look for lichen in our outside environment through microscopes which can indicate the quality of the air around us.  Eco Council helped him to set up some diffusion tubes in different places which will collect air over the next few weeks and then be sent back to the charity to assess what the air is like in different areas of our school.  We look forward to hearing the results.
