We recently had the pleasure of visiting Pembroke Primary School in Chepstow for a day of learning, workshops, and getting stuck into some litter picking!
We kicked things off with an assembly, introducing pupils to the challenges of plastic pollution, the impact litter has on our environment and the small changes we can all make to help protect our planet. We focused on recycling, on how we can use less plastic, and how we can make small sustainable swaps.
Throughout the day, each class took part in our interactive workshop before heading outside for their very own litter pick. This gave everyone the chance to put what they’d learnt into action and make a positive difference to their school field and playground.
It was certainly a chilly one, but that didn’t stop the children! Everyone got stuck in, and together we collected an impressive 7.8kg of litter.
We were really impressed by the steps Pembroke Primary is already taking to make a positive difference for the environment. It’s fantastic to see a school putting so much thought into its eco efforts, and we were thrilled to play a small part in supporting their work and helping pupils build on what they’re already doing!
A huge thank you to all the pupils and staff at Pembroke Primary for being so welcoming and enthusiastic. It was brilliant to see every class getting involved and showing just how much of a difference we can make when we work together.
