In our Where In The World assembly, we met Rob in Rame, Cornwall. Rob spends his spare time beachcombing, upcycling plastic washed up from the sea. We explored how we are never too small to make a difference, like @GretaThunberg. Excited to start our journey with @LyftaEd

🌱 How can a real human story inspire conservation action? 🌏 Education is a powerful tool for change, and this live, interactive #LyftaLive session is designed to spark curiosity, empathy, and action among students. To mark #InternationalDayOfForests and #EarthHour, we invite educators to join us on 25th or 26th of March, with their class, for a free 45-minute virtual journey into the heart of Assam, India. Through the immersive storyworld Guardians of the Canopy, students will: 🌿 Discover the importance of biodiversity by exploring the lives of the endangered hoolock gibbons. 🗣️ Engage in live discussions about conservation, the environmental impact of cash crops, and fair trade. 💡 Reflect on their role in protecting nature and consider practical steps to reduce their environmental footprint. This is more than just a lesson—it’s an opportunity to connect students to real-world challenges, empower them with knowledge, and inspire them to be part of the solution. 📅 Join us and be part of the conversation! 🔗 Sign up today: hubs.la/Q03bMY-B0 #StoriesThatConnectUs

This morning we explored our ‘Big Statement’. ‘Not everyone should be allowed to own pets’. Pupils loved using @LyftaEd to explore this and we visited Turkey to see Erkan’s love and care of dogs. It linked well to our life learning lesson today about responsibilities 🗣 @KewWoods

Talking with school leaders, @LyftaEd and @creativeHigg about curiosity, compassion, and critical thinking in an age of misinformation. Excited by Lyfta's potential to enhance the curriculum. #leadershiplearning
