We received an invitation back in October to lead a workshop with primary school children around the environmental issues illustrated through Dr Seuss fabulous film ‘The Lorax’ Cinemagic held a competition and the winning school was Currie’s PS in Belfast.

The school children and teachers were very excited to experience the screening in the mini cinema created on their school stage and Bagladys Rachael and Iris, talked about the environment with the children, exploring ideas around Living ASAP = As Sustainably As Possible.
They had some fantastic ideas about what they could do to make the environment better from trees to saving water, protecting their environment and caring for each other
