Tilney All Saints - Proud to belong
Pupils recently wrapped up a six-month eco-programme, “Our Pledge for Nature,” with the National Trust and Wicken Fen, which was led by ranger Ajay Tegala.
Youngsters from right across East Cambridgeshire have been celebrating nature after completing an inspiring environmental programme, where the students were connected with nature through a series of engaging curriculum-linked video sessions exploring the topics of biodiversity, climate change and the history of one of the UK’s most vital wetlands.
The programme concluded with pupils designing their own ‘Pledge for Nature’, which were personal promises to protect the environment. Selected pledges were published in an anthology.
The proud nature-filled finale was celebrated in a ceremony held at St Mary’s Church, Ely, where pupils received copies of the anthology and merit certificates in front of families and staff.
Classical Music Rocks organised a workshop with Classical Pianist, Siobhain O'Higgins. She played some beautiful music and we were amazed that she could talk to us whilst playing at the same time! With carefully placed cameras, we were able to see the internal workings of the piano as she played it.
We are so proud of our Molly Dancers! We went to the Mark Jones Day of Dance, which is organised by the Ouse Washes Molly Dancers and they have been creating and performing Molly Dances of the Fens since the 1980's. The event was held outside The Cutter Inn at Ely Riverside, and it was a wonderful day of entertainment, colour and sound. The Broom Dance judges chose us over other professional dancers as the winners and we received a trophy!
The Rotary Club came into school and kindly presented our Year 4 children with Dictionaries.
