The Fun Challenge this week follows on from our successful Primary Global Goals Day on Thursday 3rd November. All of Primary took part in a variety of interesting and fascinating activities and presentations linked to the Global Goals. Check out more about the Global Goals by visiting: www.globalgoals.org.
For the Fun Challenge, look around you in Sabah and take a photo of somewhere you can see one of the Global Goals in action and being successfully achieved. This could be a photo of recycling, clean water or ocean pollution being solved. You may see where there is still a need to fix the problems the Global Goals target and you could take a photo showing the problems. These photos will be judged by our Primary Global Goals Team to select a winner from each House in KS1 and KS2 for our Life Thru a Lens competition. All photos to be submitted by Thursday 10th November 2022.
