The Transition class were Effective Contributors during their Earth Day Activities. They worked hard on a collaborative art work and then spent some time in the sun planting sunflower seeds that we harvested from last year’s sunflowers.
Tag: Earth Day
The Transition class took advantage of the good weather on Earth Day to switch off our electricity and go out into the park. They were Confident Individuals when practicing setting up tents for DofE. It was a little breezy but everyone persevered and got the tent up. We took time to have our snack together in the outdoors

Earth Day
We had a very ECO friendly morning in the Beech class as we raised awareness for Earth Day. We went out a lovely nature walk, planted sunflowers, made nature clay imprints and designed a poster to show our dedication to helping save the planet. We also switched off all technology all morning where we could to help save power!
well done, Team Beech!
Working in our SQA Communication Unit, we were successful learners picking our favourite Encanto characters, and putting them into the correct families. We watched a little more of the film and enjoyed some more of the songs.

We used sensory play for a few reasons different reasons this week, for hand exercises – working on gripping and stretching. Working on our fine motor skills using the tongs to pick up different shaped objects. We used all the different objects to add up and count down for numeracy.
The weather has been lovely and we went for a couple walk to the Kay Park, we enjoyed watching the ducks and swans in the pond.
Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection, it was first held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by EarthDay.org including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.

Earth Day
Effective Contributors Confident Individuals
The Moonbeams learned about Earth Day this week. We listened to a song about what we can do to look after the Earth better and then we did some tasks to help. We recycled, and decided to switch the lights off as much as possible and then we made some food for the birds. Take a look at our photos. They are a bit dull since the the lights were off!

Earth Day
Yesterday was Earth Day. We are Effective Contributors and already in the Bluebells class recycle and use reusable cups at snack time. We used up scrap tissue paper that we ripped up to make some earth sun catchers for our windows. We were Confident individuals and were able to place the green and blue tissue paper inside the circle to make land and water on our earth. We also did some painting. We used blue and green to make it look like a world and drew around our hands and used scissors to cut them out. Once dry we stuck a heart in the middle and our hands to the side as if we were holding the earth.
We also sat in the dark and read a story with torches. It was great fun. It was a sensory story and they enjoyed feeling the different items in the pages.

Earth Day Part 2
This morning we came into class and found our beautiful Earth sun-catchers reflecting the colour onto the carpet.
Our bird feeders were ready to hang up in the garden this morning. The birds will have some lovely treats this weekend. If there is any food left next week we will do some bird watching in the garden.
We will be responsible citizens and make more food for the birds when they finish their food.

Earth Day Fun!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Planets class enjoyed celebrating Earth Day yesterday. We listened to some Earth Day songs and read a story relating to Earth Day. We spoke about some things we could do to help the Earth be a better place – like recycling, switching lights and taps off when we do not need them and trying not to over use plastic.
We designed our very own Earth Day tshirts and tried hard to complete some recycling jobs.
We also completed a special Earth themed craft. We used shaving foam and food colouring to create marble effect Earths. We loved doing this and think they look very effective. Finally, we chose 3 Earth Day promises that we are going to try hard to commit to in the future.

Earth Day in Oak
Today we celebrated Earth Day by having the lights off all day and using minimum electricity.
We enjoyed an afternoon in the garden, we made an Earth Sun-catcher and took it in turns to find the sun and make the colours reflect onto the ground.
We have been responsible citizens and helping the birds find some food. We made bird feeders so the birds can have a lovely breakfast and dinner.
We also planted some sunflower seeds, fingers crossed we are successful this year and we manage to grow some beautiful sunflowers.
