Bolsover Infant and Nursery with eduCCate Global Teacher Accademy and UNCCLearn

The day went really well and seemed to encourage the students to really think and engage with the topic.
Jon from educate Global also joined us to record the training ready for the EG Introduction to climate change course.

Wednesday 4th March was our school Open evening. Every year we have a theme to match our school improvement topic. This year it was One world, no 2nd chances.

Using humour and adventure, it addresses difficult 21st Century problems and makes them relatable and digestible for young children.
Mini Climate Readers paves the road for the development of environmental activist; Global citizens, who respect, respond and rejoice in a world they pledge to nurture.
Mini Climate Readers sows the first seeds that will transform the young, environmental activist of today, into the future climate conscious, world leaders of tomorrow.

Hammersmith and Fullam
Today we have had visitors!
The Deputy Leader for Education from Hammersmith and Fullam Council and two headteachers from their borough came to visit today. We shared all the work we have done so far and they spent the afternoon with our children who were doing their first full ‘Polo Day’.
It was fantastic to share our journey and it was lovely to look back at how far we had come as a school. Very proud headteacher here?
