23 AprMonday 22nd April was Earth Day! Let's celebrate our beautiful planet and commit to making positive changes for a sustainable future. At Acle Academy we had assemblies about this last week and promoted an initiative for Key Stage 3 students to get involved and create posters, stickers and ideas on how we can support the conservation of our planet. Mr. Sayce has been incredibly impressed by the range of ideas and brilliant work sent through for this. Our students have embraced the core ideas and shown great ingenuity. The deadline for sending entries to Mr. Sayce is this Friday (26th April) so do send through any further ideas to him before then. Together, we can make a difference! #acleacademy #EarthDay2024 #SustainableFuture #GreenSchool #earthdaynetwork
23 AprOn Friday 19th April, Mrs. Swain and Miss Frary took eight students to PACT Animal Sanctuary for some animal therapy sessions. We spent some of our time with a lovely therapy dog called Dill and we also got to have a grooming session with a pony, along with seeing many other animals at the centre. PACT is currently piloting animal therapy sessions for schools, and we were very happy to volunteer and participate! We hope to be able to work with PACT in the future, so these trips can continue. #acleacademy #peopleforanimalcaretrust_pact
