Penryn College: Celebrating our new school on opening day – Mission Update!

As part of the opening day events for Penryn College to celebrate our new school, our environmental leaders got together for the day to create a Jungle Frenzy made from willow and tissue paper. 

Students then created jungle creatures out of recycled waste to signify the wide diversity of animals found in our forests.  We then asked students from across the college to write environmental wishes for the future on paper leaves and hang them from the jungle.

A great day and a great way to raise awareness of the need to protect our rainforests and jungles across the earth.

    What a fantastic idea! Your Jungle Frenzy looks amazing and I am sure it was a very successful event. Congratulations too on the opening of your new school.
    If any of your students took their own pictures of this event, they may wish to enter them for the Roots & Shoots Photographic Awards? See http://www.rootsnshoots.org.uk/awards/ for more information.
