Year 6 pupils from Griffithstown Primary School are taking part in an investigation which looks into the pollution of their local canal. YRE Litter Less Campaign fits well with the aspirations of the School as the cleanliness of the canal is important to the children of the school and moreover, to the people of Griffithstown. The nearby Friends of Henllys Local Nature Reserve received a grant to improve the use of digital learning outdoors so it was agreed that members of the Group should train the pupils to use their underwater drone to look at litter in the canal which will create footage for their YRE film entry. The pupils at Griffithstown Primary spent a great day with Chris from the local nature reserve learning and practicing how to use the drone.
