They recently finished the Climate Change unit of the course. After gaining an understanding of the causes and impacts of climate change, pupils did a role play of the Copenhagen Climate Conference that was held in 2009. Each pupil took the part of a country and had to decide how they would negotiate for tougher or easier carbon targets.
The S1 classes are now studying Biodiversity, from an SDE perspective. We investigated the biodiversity in the school grounds and Roley's Wood, looking at how former and current pupils in the school created different habitats. After this we'll be moving on to looking at bees and the importance of bee conservation in more depth.
