LEAF (Local Environmental Action Fortnight)
We are joining schools across Rochdale in various eco-activities next week. Some Yr 3 children are doing a mini-beast hunt in the school grounds, Yr 4 are going pond dipping in Heywood Woods and some Yr 6 children will be investigating, beehives in Heaton Park. On Friday some of the Eco-Committee will be attending the Rochdale Eco-Conference at the Town Hall.

There will be another week of activities in the Spring for other classes to be involved in.
