We are delighted that our Community Ecologist, Gerry Tissier, is featured in the Primary Science Teaching Trust’s A Scientist Just Like Me resource. Below, we explore who the Primary Science Teaching Trust is, their mission, and why resources like this are so valuable for teachers, and for the children they inspire.

In a groundbreaking move, Kingsmead Primary School in Hackney has formally twinned with a school in Kampala, Uganda, uniting their Buzzline projects in a global commitment to protect pollinating insects and enhance biodiversity.

In today's crucial era of environmental consciousness, ecoACTIVE, with generous funding from the OVO Foundation, is excited to offer a suite of free, comprehensive educational resources for teachers. These resources aim to inspire and engage students in key environmental topics, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to positively impact our planet. Covering three areas—Consumption & Waste, Sustainability, and Urban Wildlife—these packs are invaluable classroom additions and complement our hands-on environmental education sessions at Leaside for a well-rounded educational experience.

Sustainability should first of all be a practice embraced by schools at all levels (procurement, management, energy generation/consumption, waste management, food consumption etc.), and implemented by all members of staff in their daily routines.
