Here is the award from BBC School Report

On Saturday 16th May Mr Duxbury, Mr Langan and Mrs Bateman had to get up at 4am - which is far far to early, they picked up 4 students to take to London BBC Television Centre.

When we got past security, and made our way in to the BBC we soon realised that we were the only school in the Northwest to be invited to the awards ceremony.

The ceremony was opened by Mark Byford who is the Deputy Director of the BBC, who is the second most important man in the BBC and he is in charge of all the BBC's journalists.

The awards were handed out by Newsrounds roving reporter Adam Flemming, as we were obviously the best we went first.

Whilst at the BBC we had a tour of the BBC which was great and we do recommend that you book and go on it you can find details here

We have now almost finished our BBC School Report programme, to be (hopefully) broadcast via programmes such as Newsround and North West Tonight and on the Internet.

Our School Report has a climate change theme and includes interviews with Johnny Ball, Greg Pope MP, Gabrielle Walker (co-author of the book The Hot Topic, who was actually speaking to us from the Antarctic over a Skype link) and two year 7 girls.

See Gabrielle on her webcam here. (you can only hear Gabrielle) 

Amy is the . She was lucky enough be chosen by the Cape Farewell project to go the Arctic, along with youngsters from all over the world, to see the effects of climate change for themselves.  Amy witnessed part of an ice cliff falling into the sea, made sculptures and other artworks from ice and even swam in the Arctic Ocean.

We were invited by Setpoints at Liverpool's John Moores University and IET to exhibit the work that we had done on climate change. 

 We were the only school to exhibit at the prestigious Climate Change - Responding to the Challenge event held at Ewood Park, Blackburn.  Other exhibitors included multinational companies, university departments, charities and government bodies.  The main speaker was the mathematician, scientist, dad of Zoë, and TV presenter Johnny Ball.

Johnny was interviewed for our school report programme.

Our main aims are to become a Gold Star eco-friendly school, to raise awareness by hosting cross-curricular events for primary school children and to engender “joined-up thinking” on all matters - not just climate change.

In addition, the magazine RE Today, which has already featured our school, wants to use us for another feature on teaching RE and Climate Change in 2008.  Helen Harrison at Lancashire Education is disseminating the already published Radio in RE article county-wide via the LGFL.  Helen also aims to distribute our climate change material as a "positive example of a creative curriculum".
