What’s happening to our planet?

Climate Change is a topical issue at the moment with environmental marches taking place to raise awareness and a United Nations summit to discuss proposals for how to combat the issue that is facing our planet.

We are keen supporters of helping the environment and did some learning around the issue this week so that we felt more informed when listening to the news, reading articles and discussing it with others.

To help the girls get a better understanding of the science involved we also watched a couple of informative videos:
