Inspiring Young Minds with Better Planet Schools! 🌍 We’re thrilled to share this wonderful feedback from Shipham First School in Somerset, who recently used our 'Climate Change and Flooding' module. "Thank you very much for a super topic, we really got stuck into it and we did the experiments on coastal erosion and water run-off plus we made a trip to a rewilding farm! Your lesson plans and PowerPoints were marvellous, and the children loved making posters to encourage flooding prevention and climate change awareness." It’s incredible to see schools taking meaningful steps to engage students in environmental education. Explore our modules and join the journey! 🌱 🔗 Visit Better Planet Schools (https://lnkd.in/djwBD_zc) to learn more. #BetterPlanetEducation #ClimateEducation #FloodPrevention #EnvironmentalAwareness #EcoSchools #InspiringYoungMinds
