Sustainable Crediton was invited to help at Hayward School's Super Hero Day which this year had the theme of sustainability. As they had other folk doing recycling and the perils of plastic we were invited to focus on the theme of wildlife.

As we would be seeing 5 groups of 80 children each during the day, we decided to divide each group up and spend half the time making simple bird feeders and the other half doing a quiz in teams. We were so impressed with the children who were not only well behaved but enthusiastic, engaged and incredibly supportive of each other. The staff really seemed to foster an attitude of cooperation and care for others. It was a real joy to support these children in thinking how they can better care for wildlife and their environment. 

Thanks to all those who volunteered.
