Rights Respecting Schools Update!

Unfortunately we can’t complete Rich Tasks like we normally do at NCPS. So this year P6-7 have been chosen as the lucky class to continue with obtaining our Rights Respecting Schools award. They have created their own school logo, new right of the fortnight sheet and new right cards. The video below highlights our new ideas as well as describing the right of the fortnight. We will post a new video every 2 weeks to highlight the new right!

Waste Week

Hello my eco warriors! I hope you are all well!

When we finished up in March the eco group had started to plan ‘Waste Week’. As we missed out in school I have some activities for you to complete at home if you would like to. Once again anything you do will help our Green flag application so I would be very grateful if you could give it a go and send me your findings.

Today’s activities focus on energy. They will help you to understand ways we waste energy in our homes and what we can do to save energy.

This first activity is suitable for P1-7

This second activity might be a bit tricker for P1-3 so they would need the support of a grown up. P4-7 should manage.

If you complete any of these then please send your teacher or myself a picture of your work.

I hope you enjoy completing these missions and look out for more!
