Sybil Cary, teacher at Milbourne Lodge School states: "The children were totally swept up by the day and have talked of little else since then".
Activities in which the pupils took part include:
- Designing pledge posters and pledging to help forests (photos can be seen here)
- Visiting a local National Trust property (the National Trust is FSC certified!) and taking photos, which were entered into FSC UK Photography Competition (M6 / year 8)
- Making t-shirts (watch the videos for more on this!)
- Awarding FSC prizes - for the most thoughtful pledge, the most interesting t-shirt design and generally the most knowledge of and dedication to the project
- Completing FSC Friday challenges, such as the Code-Breaker and the 'find the hidden objects' task
- Hugging trees and appreciating the beauty of the nature in the surroundings
- Creating an FSC Friday display
Tiggy Bawden, teacher at Milbourne Lodge School says: "Did we celebrate the day? Yes - we did. In style! Thank you FSC - we had a wonderful day".
