Lots of great Eco activities happening in back gardens and neighbourhoods so well done and thank you to everyone who sent in photos. It was brilliant to see some brand new entrants joining in on the Eco Challenge – welcome! The Yellow House is creeping up on the Green House and there are only 10 points between them!
For the Green House, Jan went on a very successful minibeast hunt. For the Red House, Rebekah, John and Jonno were keeping busy working and painting outside, turning off chargers and watching the Swashbuckle episode about recycling – it’s a great reminder of what items we can recycle and there are more than you think! Maisy, Poppy, Tommy, Mikey and Sarah were earning points for the Blue House by doing lots of fabulous gardening in their brand new polytunnel and hanging out washing. For the Yellow House, we had Lucy, Sophie, Ben, Ryan and Hanna Z who were taking part in a range of Eco activities such as helping with sorting the recycling, putting out the bin and hanging out the washing.
Keep up the great work everyone – 3 weeks left to join in if you would like to!

As the weather (hopefully) continues to be as nice as it has been, we know there will be lots of you getting out and about. Sustrans and DfI (Department for Infrastructure) have provided us with activities and games to help us with staying safe when out on the roads, whether you are walking, cycling or scooting. There will be new activities posted each week for you.
This week there are 3 different tasks that have been saved into the Letters section of our website so please do check them out.
Road Safety Education Task: Child Cycle Safety
This week the focus is on cycle helmets – please ensure your child wears a cycle helmet every time they are riding their bicycle and that it is properly fitted and adjusted to reduce the impact of a fall or collision at slow speed.

For the Green and Red house we had Jan, Rebekah, John, Will, Beth and even Will and Beth’s mum all taking part in lots of outdoor activities such as reading and ironing in the garden, pressing flowers and organising an outdoor treasure hunt for their little brother.
