Coleham School went full Attenborough today as pupils, staff and families celebrated Sir David’s 100th birthday. Think animals, explorers, eco‑heroes and even a few tiny Sir David’s wandering the corridors.
The day kicked off with a whole‑school assembly from the Shropshire Wildlife Trust, reminding us why Sir David’s voice — and our own actions — matter for the planet.
Costumes were spectacular: tigers, sharks, rainforest creatures, adventurers and more.
Eco‑activities filled the day with Year 4 making a giant Whale Shark and Year 6 filming their own nature documentaries. Every child made a personal Green Pledge, promising one change they’ll make to help protect the planet. These will be combined into the official Coleham School Green Pledge for the Shropshire Wildlife Trust’s Schools’ Green Promise competition.
Families joined in the afternoon for a performance of I Am The Earth before everyone belted out Happy Birthday to Sir David. The grand finale? A show‑stopping three‑tier cake — oceans, deserts and rainforests — baked with Love Spoon Bakery and decorated with edible animals designed by pupils. Slices were sold after school, raising donations for the Wildlife Trust.
Coleham went wild — and we think Sir David would approve.
