Earth Day 22nd April – Eco Challenge from Eco Group and Mrs Flockton
Today marks Earth Day 2020.
This is the 50th Earth Day and this year the focus is on Climate Action. This also connects to The World’s Largest Lesson which is part of Eco Schools work. (Links to both websites below)
Lots of activities and events were planned but this year the theme will be digital based or an activity from home so the Eco Group have set some challenges for you to try.
Can you do any of the challenges?
It doesn’t have to be today but please comment and let us know if you have done anything so we can keep a record for the Eco Group and our Green Flag application.
Task 1 –
- Have a conversation around climate change with an elderly relative/community member, this could be on the telephone or video messaging.
- Draw a Then and Now picture based on their climate conversation, demonstrating the difference between
the past and current ways of living and how that impacts climate change - Demonstrate a positive action for the environment
I have included a list of questions you could ask and a recording sheet if needed – Appendix Sheet 1/2.

Task 2 –
Earth Day Spot clean –
- During your daily exercise can you tidy your local environment. Can you collect a small bag of litter?
On our family walks we have noticed the litter around us more than previously as we have had more time and walked paths that we rarely go on, so can you help tidy the place around you?
Please use gloves and consider what you pick up at this time. Send a picture to your teacher of your rubbish if possible. We can keep this for evidence for Keep Scotland Beautiful but please do not have people in the picture if possible.
Here is our rubbish collected on one walk.
Task 3
P1/2 – (and anyone else who would like to join in)
You have been set a fun task below based around the book you are reading. Have a look at the Sway to see what your task is. This is a fun activity but remember to work with an adult.
Mild Numeracy Challenge – Wholes, halves and quarters
Mild HWB P1 Challenge – LOVE
Unfortunately we can’t meet as a community to commemorate V.E. Day. Each class had been asked to design words to be displayed in the church for the event. I have had a go at the P1 challenge word – LOVE. Some children in P1 have shared their design with me – thank you – and I have passed this on to Ms Deans who will share all the images created by children across the school on Friday on the blog. ❤️
Stone decoration ideas from Mrs Lusher
Mrs Lusher has sent some ideas for decoration stones. I’m sure you agree they look fabulous. Send us pictures of any stones you have decorated.
Health and Wellbeing Grid 2 Task
Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a FAB Easter break 🙂
Today I thought I would focus my blog post on a nice easy relaxing choice from our new grid since it launches today and you might just be getting to familiarise yourself with it.
I chose the Health and Wellbeing task, this term we were going to be working cooperatively with Rev Will Stalder and the Methlick community to celebrate VE Day by creating artistic pieces of words related to VE Day. We decided as a staff to choose this as one of our home learning activities.
The Primary 7 word is Resolution luckily I randomly had a bucket of toy soldiers and thought I could display my words using that HOWEVER half way through I realised I wouldn’t have enough toy soldiers 🤔
Then I used some problem solving skills I made the first five letters of the word took a picture of it and then made the second 5 letters took a picture and merged them together using a Picture collage app.
I can’t wait to see what you all do for your class word.
Please share your ideas below and send any completed ones to your teacher.
