Year 3 took part in the Wakefield Schools Climate Change Relay last week to raise awareness of the issue. Over 50 schools are taking part over a 10 day period! The children travelled to Carr Bridge Playing Fields to collect the specially sculptured baton from Bell Lane School children before returning to Ackworth Howard. The School Council led a welcoming committee on their return.

You can support the campaign by signing the petition. The petition can be viewed at: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/636081

Here is a link to the Calendar news clip from Wednesday that can explain the walk in more detail. It was also featured on Look North:
