Children in Years 2 and 3 have started their Eco-Church Project as part of their RVE work. They visited St. Edward’s Church and explored all of the mini-beasts that call the Church grounds their home.
After listening to the story of Jesus choosing his disciples, we discussed friendship and how we could be a friend to planet Earth. You can see above the children had some great ideas!
In groups, we have been thinking about creation stories from different religions and what they might teach us. We thought of things that are important to our planet and we diamond ranked them. We then looked at the idea of stewardship and the responsibility that we all have in looking after our world. We also thought of things that we could do to care for our planet.
The children have been busy investigating soil formation. Here are some pictures of them making their own compost bins.
In Science, we have been learning about the life processes and habitats. We decided to create our own micro habitats in our school garden.
Meet our new eco council 2023-2024!
We have found out that after our recent Eco renewal inspection, we have achieved our renewal for Platinum Award Eco Schools. We are all very happy about this and want to say a big thankyou to everyone for their hard work.
We have enjoyed gardening with Tom from the Community Garden and we look forward to sampling some of the vegetables in the Autumn.
Well done to everyone who entered and to Fletcher for winning.
We learnt a lot about sustainability and how to look after our animals.
Tom from the Community Centre kindly came into talk to the children about growing their own vegetables. We are hopefully going to start planting our own vegetables at school, working with Tom. The Eco Council then took Tom for a tour around the school, looking at potential spaces to create a planting patch.
