Year 3 pupils from Oasis Academy Clarksfield with their letter
A group of eco-conscious youngsters from an Oldham primary school who sent a letter to the Prime Minister were overwhelmed when they received a response.
Year 3 pupils from Oasis Academy Clarksfield, recently wrote to 10 Downing Street after they had learnt about trees and the effects deforestation have on wildlife. Last week a member of the PM’s team wrote back to them.
Eshan, Year 3 Pupil at Oasis Academy Clarksfield said: "We wrote a letter to Boris Johnson because we have been learning about why trees are important and deforestation. We watched a video about orangutans losing their homes because of deforestation and we wanted to do something to stop it. I didn’t think he would answer us but we got a letter back from him telling us how he is trying to help."
