Councillor Lewis meets our school Eco Team

The Y3/4 Eco Team met Councillor Ian Lewis today to talk to him about improving the air quality at St George's.

The children presented facts about air pollution; 

• It can affect children’s lung development during pregnancy and after birth.
• It can have a detrimental impact on your mathematical ability
• It causes heart and lung diseases and may even contribute to mental health issues.

They shared some of the initiatives we have at St George's including WOW - encouraging children to walk, scoot or ride to school and house plants in each classroom

They also shared some solutions including their idea of installing clean air islands that would improve the air quality around our school.
