Eco Club Update

Mrs Morgans

We have a busy couple of months!

We had a recycling assembly for the whole school, and were visited by Sammy the Seagull, who helped us decide what items to recycle and which bag to put them in.

 

 

 

 

 

We encouraged the whole school to get involved with the Big School Spring Clean, and every class did a litter pick in or around the school.

The Eco Club wanted to take it one step further and so we did a Beach Clean, the children were amazed at the amount of plastic litter and micro plastics that they found on the Beach.

We attended an Eco Brick workshop in the National Waterfront Museum, and will share what we have learnt with the rest of the classes.

We now collect empty crisp packets for recycling, as well as batteries and writing implements.

All our events have spurred us on to do a Plastic Free Day in School. Children were invited to choose reusable alternatives to single use plastic in their lunchboxes, and we had the school milk delivered in glass milk bottles, instead of the plastic containers.

The Eco Club was interviewed by Bay TV about our Plastic Free Day, and what the school is doing to encourage pupils and staff to Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

Curriculum information - Summer Term

Miss L Maliphant

In the Summer Term we will be covering the following Whole school projects:

*Enterprise *Well-being*

As a Lower Foundation Phase, we will be covering the topic of ‘Scrumptious’ and we will also have a 2 week project following the interests of the children in class.

How can I help my child at home?

Any research in these areas of learning would be beneficial to your child.

If you have any items (e.g. books, leaflets, etc.) that you believe might be linked to this topic and would support learning, then please send them into class.

Encouraging your child to draw, write, count, share books, notice words, letters and numbers around them as well as playing and talking is hugely beneficial.

Tedi Twt Sacks

We have enjoyed using Tedi Twt sacks in our classes. Tedi Twt will continue to go home with a different child each week and we love seeing what he’s been up to in the accompanying book. They will have the opportunity to share what they did with him with the rest of the class. Please ensure all items are in the sack when it comes back to school.

Reading

Please can reading books be returned at least once a week. Pupils are involved in a range of other reading activities in class but it is important that pupils can practice at home. We encourage that all pupils enjoy reading and listening to stories at home.
