What a superb week it's been! We have been adding lots of sustainability links to Prae Wood Primary School's curriculum over the past few years. This year’s Sustainability Week has successfully deepened the children's understanding of environmental responsibility. It has been wonderful to see them engage so thoughtfully with the core principles of sustainability, coming away with a wealth of positive, practical strategies to help protect our world.

We welcomed speakers in to deliver some brilliant talks and pupils learned huge amounts about the importance of sugar cane, renewable energy, nature portals, the Prae Wood Bike Bus, making space for nature, wildlife in action and how companies can become more sustainable.

Year 5 played a key role in driving the week's activities and hosted a mini Sustainable Fair with 'free items' stalls and food and plant stalls after school. The Bike Bus team also offered a Bike Repair Station, for anyone wanting to get their bicycle checked over and ready to ride.

Year 4 enjoyed a Willow Wonders workshop with Laura from the Chilterns Chalk Stream Project, who explained about the rare and fragile resource and helped them to create their own willow trout, using willow from our school grounds!

Alongside all the above, we have joined in with initiatives to reduce food waste, a 'power down' afternoon, nature trails and scavenger hunts, gardening, planting and litter picking around and outside the school grounds. Year 5 pupils also decorated rocks and hid them along many pupils' route to school, ready to discovered as they walk, cycle or scoot by!!
