Seahouses pupils celebrate David Attenborough’s 100th birthday with beach tribute
Seahouses Primary School children marked a milestone this week by dedicating their Fresh Air Friday to Sir David Attenborough in honor of his 100th birthday.
These weekly sessions, which see the pupils trade the classroom walls for the wonders of the beach, woodlands and harbor, took on a special significance as the students gathered on the sands of their local shore.
To celebrate a century of conservation, the children collaborated to construct a ‘100’ crafted entirely from natural treasures found along the tideline.
They then spent the rest of the morning getting up close and personal with the inhabitants of the rockpools, observing the delicate coastal ecosystem with the same curiosity and reverence Sir David has championed for decades.
Seahouses Primary teacher, Katie Neale said: “It was a heartening sight to see the next generation of eco-stewards drawing inspiration from such a towering figure, proving that his legacy of wonder is alive and well in the curious hands of these young explorers.”
