Today is the UK’s summer solstice. It marks the longest day and shortest night of the year, but how does it work? Our Earth-themed activity invites us on a journey around the sun, exploring how our amazing planet rotates to create days, years and different seasons. https://bit.ly/4oFEh0r

Enthusisatic - Brings energy and positivity to inspire others!
Creative - Thinks differently to solve problems that make things better!
Supportive - Listens, cares and encourages others!
A Mentor - Guides and supports others to succeed!
Inspiring - Motivates and encourages others!
Facilitator - Helps others learn and achieve!

We would like to say a huge thank you to all our Young Leaders, and for those entering exam season, good luck!
