COP-26 at Ysgol Llanddulas
To link with COP_26 all the classes have been looking at climate change and the impact the environment and our lives. Class 2 have been looking at the impact of plastic in the ocean, and Class 3 have been interviewing Mrs Tait to talk about paper use and recycling in school. Classes 3 and 4 are also taking part in the National Museum of Wales Spring Bulb study which tracks temperatures, so they have been busy planting daffodils. Class 4 and 5 have also joined online sessions from COP-26 to investigate the impact of global warning and have been designing posters. Next week Class 5 will be looking at pollution outside school as part of a national survey.
