From the House of Commons to our Community Room!.

Nightingale’s now famous Eco-Club hosted a prestigious event this past Friday. Mrs. Tariket & Mrs. Bellis have worked tirelessly to provide wonderful enrichment opportunities for our children and show them the real difference they can make in our community and in their local area in general.

On Friday Eco-Club welcomed some politicians into school to answer some rather ferocious lines of questioning from our Year 6’s around environmental issues and how we can encourage those on power to do more to promote them.

Richard Burgon, who is a member of the Labour Party and the Member of parliament for Leeds East was in attendance as was Shahab Idris, a representative of the Green Party and Councillor Katie Dye, Chair of the Leeds City Council Climate Committee. Our very own headteacher, Mr Pearce was also on the panel to give an Educator’s perspective of environmental issues.

Many of our Year 6’s chose to stay after school to be part of the audience for the Question Time event that I have no doubt was just as demanding as Prime Minister’s questions each week.

The Panel Question Time was rounded off with Eco-club leading a tour of school to share the amazing work they have done with our Eco Garden, showing off the various projects from across this year.
