Climate change workshops which use games such as bingo to engage young pupils have been taken to four local primary schools.

The 'Our Changing Climate' workshops, delivered by Generation Science, a science education outreach programme in the country, encouraged pupils to experience the wonders of science through interactive learning.

Since its inception in 1991, Generation Science has reached more than one million students across the nation, strengthening their grasp on science and encouraging independent thought.

The workshops, funded by The Hayward Sanderson Trust, offer students resources to explore and appreciate science at their own pace.

The 'Our Changing Climate' workshop used interactive games like climate bingo to engage participants and communicate climate change information.

Pupils learned that climate change management can be achieved through small yet purposeful measures rather than radical lifestyle alterations.

The experience also promoted an improved awareness and comprehension of climate-related challenges.

Malcolm Lindsay, trustee of the Hayward Sanderson Trust, said: "The Trust is always pleased to consider applications for funding for local school workshops that go beyond the normal resources of the school."

The four primary schools that took part in the programme are St Margaret's RC Primary School, Balmoral Primary School, Burgh Primary School, and St Peter's Primary School.

Both Generation Science and the Hayward Sanderson Trust expressed their thanks to all contributors who helped to produce the workshops.

The Hayward Sanderson Trust is inviting funding applications from across the Scottish Borders, particularly from Galashiels.

They encourage interested parties to contact them regarding potential funding applications.
