We were responsible citizens as we learned about the importance of being eco-friendly by completing a variety of activities.

Books, Books, Books …. and Pancakes
This week has been a busy week in the Pine class, have made and enjoyed eating pancakes, enjoyed Eco sensory assembly and all enjoyed our swimming sessions this week and also Adams 14th birthday. In preparation for World Book Day we read lots of new books, enjoyed the book parade and were confident individuals picking a new book at the book swap. We are looking forward to tomorrow as we have an author coming into school.

FAOL – ECO/SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Water Use
All the boys in the Sunflowers class are really good at washing their hands. They are able to turn off the tap when they are finished washing their hands to save water. We looked at different ways in which we use water at school. A homework sheet was also given out so the pupils could circle the different ways they use water at home.

Sustainable Goals
The Beech class have been learning all about water as part of our sustainable development work. This week we looked at the difference between clean and dirty water, thought about which would be safe to drink then completed an experiment to try and turn dirty water into clean water by making our own filter! We were effective contributors as we all took turns to add an aspect of the filter and make our predictions on whether the experiment would work.

ECO Work
The Beech class have been learning about water and sanitation. We have learned about the water cycle and today we looked at what we use water for in school and at home. We then had a look at a video made by young people in Africa showing how they have to walk up to 4 miles to collect water. To help us appreciate how lucky we are to have clean water on tap in our homes and schools, we collected water in buckets and experienced what it feels like to carry water across a distance!

ECO Work
The Beech class started their new ECO target yesterday. We are looking at Global Goals 6 which focuses on keeping our local water cycle clean. We looked at how the water system works and where water comes from. then we started an experiment that lets us observe the cycle in action and listened to a song all about the cycle. We then engaged in a sensory water “play” session where we demonstrated the cycle using different types of water and water-themed objects. We were very successful leaners as we were able to complete an assessment at the end showing how much we learned!

Recycled Art
The Eco group recycled an item that would usually be thrown in the bin. The pencil shavings from sharpened pencils were gathered and then used to create a picture of a tree and a butterfly.
It was a very relaxing and fun activity to create something beautiful from rubbish that would have been thrown away. The boys were effective contributors using items to recycle and creating something new.
There will be a lot more exciting recycling projects happening over the next few weeks, with a Christmas theme.

FAOL – ECO
We have all been using our class recycle bin. We made a sign for our bin so we knew where to put our bottles and paper. We all have the opportunity to take our recycle bin to the big recycle bins in the corridor. We helped and put the paper in one bin and the plastic in another. Most of enjoyed having a peer into the bin to see what else was inside.
