We have had a fantastic week after the excitement of the snow last week with our slightly delayed 'Eco Week'.

We have been using the book 'One Plastic Bag' in our English and Science/Topic lessons all week and the children have really embraced exploring a story from another culture.

We have acted out the story and re-ordered some muddled up pictures to help us think about what happens when and thought of some terrific adjectives to make our speaking and writing much more interesting. We finished the week with a 'Big Write' retelling of the story and these look brilliant - I am looking forward to reading them over the weekend!

We have also thought about different materials and created some lovely 'Recycling' posters too.

Thank you to everyone who donated lots of plastic for our recycling art afternoon today!

The children chose what they would like to do and we are so impressed with what they managed to create from all the 'rubbish' we were given.

ECO WEEK HOME LEARNING

For your home learning this week I would like you to choose an activity from the grid below to complete.

Find something in your house which is eco friendly. It could be something that helps the environment or something we use to reuse or recycle something we might throw away as rubbish. Draw and explain what it is used for.	Materials Hunt! In your house, find: 5 things made from wood 5 things made from glass 5 things made from metal Draw a small picture of each object.
Make a poster explaining how we can be more eco-friendly. Don’t forget posters need to be bright, colourful and clear!	Get Creative! Make something old into something new – reuse or recycle something you no longer need into something else!

Don't forget our Great British Spring Clean on Tuesday 13th March

Also, please return any parents evening slips by Wednesday 14th March so we can try to allocate a time that suits you.
