Butterfly Count

Get involved!

Friends of the Earth did a virtual talk for the whole of Year 4 on Friday 9th July.
The children in 4G then wrote 'thank you' letters and this was the reply from Claire Gribben:
Just wanted to say thank you so much for those lovely letters, I felt quite emotional reading them as it is so heartening to see how much the children care about the environment and nature.  That means so much.  As I said before, we would be happy to come into the school to do something more with them once the COVID situation improves.

There is a butterfly count going on at the moment- I thought it would be a great activity for the kids.  Just 15 minutes counting the butterflies then recording them:

Is there a possibility of us using some of the letters in our quarterly magazine?   With the names taken off?  It would be such a powerful message to people to show how much the children care, and the importance of the adults listening to them.
