EcoScience Writers Workshop with Sarah Knight

In 2015 Sarah Knight conducted a writers workshop with 6th Class designed to support a programme of mentoring in primary schools through the use of writing stories on various subjects related to local biodiversity and environmental change issues. The books 6th Class wrote now form part of the  'Me & the Sea' lessons. To find out more follow the link.
