Climate Action Week is Coming!
We are so excited to share some huge news with our Park Primary families! This term, our school is taking a leading role in a very special project. In September 2026, the whole school will be diving into a whole school IDL called Plants, Animals and Energy. This will lead directly into our official Climate Action Week, taking place from 14th–18th September 2026.
Co-Designed by Our Pupils & The Children’s Parliament
Over the last eight months, our Eco Committee and Rights Respecting Schools Group have been working closely with the Children’s Parliament. Together, they decided that Park Primary’s theme this year will be: Our Shared Environment. Our children want to look closely at how we share our local gardens, parks, forests, and shores with wildlife. They will be exploring how climate change affects our wild neighbours and what actions we can take to protect them.
What’s Happening During Climate Action Week? (14–18 Sept)
Every class in the school will become experts on a different local environment (like the shore, the ocean, forests, or gardens). Our learners will:
- – Research local wildlife and how they depend on each other.
- – Engage with local partners to deepen their understanding.
- – Create a massive, collaborative art displays bringing these creatures to life.
- – Produce short films and stories to share what they have learned.
On Friday 18th September, some classes will take part in a special walk to Ganavan Beach.
Our pupils will act as “expert nature guides” for some very exciting invited guests, including local businesses, local councillors, the Oban Times, and Education Scotland—who will actually be in school filming our amazing journey!
