Human Impact and the Environment

In year 6 today there was a large number of environmentally friendly cities for all to see and behold. For their topic, based on Human Impact and the Environment, students were tasked with creating an environmentally friendly city that included creating a city name, a slogan and links to the topic. It was also important that the children carried it all out independently.

Please see some fantastic examples below.
