Case Studies

Alperton Community School
• Cut the Carbon training was part of an enrichment day in December 2006.
• We trained 120 pupils in 4 hours.
• We marked 2 Cut the Carbon boards out on the floor in the gym, and played with 45 pupils. The children discussed and agreed their answers and moved around the boards in their groups.
• We also had a group of 15 that played the Cut the Carbon game on the stage.
• The pupils came up with some of their own ideas for questions and carbon and lifestyle cards.
• Feedback from the pupils and teachers was excellent.
