This week the children learnt all about recycling and how by recycling we are contributing to saving our planet. The children learnt all about the types of materials that we can recycle, and those we can’t. They also learnt about what items can be made in to compost. They then came up with different ways that we can help to save the planet. They came up with some fantastic ideas! Hopefully they will share these with you at home, although I am sure you do many of these already. As part of our learning around recycling this week, I have chosen 6 children to be our litter pickers and eco warriors around school. They will work with Mrs Hodgkiss each week to ensure our school and grounds are kept litter free. They will also lead other activities around school to educate the other children about how they can help to save the planet too. Those children are Joshua, Emelia, Lexi-Rose, Scott, Ayson and Riley. I know they will do a fabulous job!
I would also like to welcome Scott to our class. Scott started in Year 3 on Monday and he has already become a wonderful addition to our school. The children have made him feel very welcome which has been lovely to see. Welcome Scott!
