• Eco Schools Home Challenge: Week 2 results!

  Sun 03 May 2020 Mrs Craig

  I was delighted to see so many entries for our Eco Schools Home Challenge this week so thank you to every single one of you who took the time to send in your pictures - it was very exciting to read about what you're getting up to. I loved seeing how so many of you are continuing on our brilliant Eco Schools work in your own back gardens and neighbourhoods.

  From the Green house we had Charlie, Hannah, Sam, Tom, Jack, Zara, Jasmine, Juliana and Jan completing a wide range of activities including hanging the washing outside, putting out the bin, planting seeds, watching birds, making their initials, painting rocks and doing plenty of creative outdoor learning.

  In the Yellow house we had Ben, Ryan and Hanna who were busy helping with putting the bin out and planting some beautiful plants in their garden.

  Then from the Red house, Rebekah and John have been busy watching lots of birds in their garden, as well as going on a minibeast hunt and enjoying lots of outdoor time.

  Finally, from the Blue house we have Ruby, Sophie and Katie being very proud of their fabulous creations of making their names from leaves and twigs - great work girls!

   

  Week 2 house points:

  Green = 90

  Yellow = 30

  Red = 20

  Blue = 30

   

  Current totals………

  Green = 160

  Yellow = 30

  Red = 20

  Blue = 50

   

  A huge well done to everyone and keep up the fabulous Eco work! I am looking forward to seeing what Week 3 brings!

  Mon 27 Apr 2020 Mrs Craig

  Here's another Sustrans Home Activity to keep the kids (and adults!) busy! This week, there's  a short video from Beverley, our Schools Officer in North Central. Beverley has put together a simple activity focused on maps and ‘birds eye views’. 

   

  You can access Beverley’s intro video here: https://youtu.be/a9LdllAxuVY

   

  The video blurb contains a link to a downloadable pdf activity sheet with all the info you need to do this activity - I’ve also added this to the Letters section of the website. 

   

  Have fun!
