Our Eco captain was hard at work in his post. He was a Responsible Citizen wheeling the recycling boxes round and ensuring that each item went into the correct bin.

The Transition class had a wonderful Climate Change Conference day on Thursday. We joined with Oak class online to discover what Climate Change is. We then shared some tasks to do throughout the day to help prevent Climate change. Transition class were responsible for issuing an Energy Audit using our literacy and numeracy skills. We also discovered the food miles involved in our lunches using our numeracy skills. Our last task was to prompt upcycling where we made some templates for a forthcoming whole school project. We met again in the afternoon to share our progress with Oak class. What a fun and busy day.

As part of our school Eco targets this year, we learned that people around the world suffer from hunger and we are lucky to have access to food in our school. We looked at how we can make small changes so that we are not wasting food. We used some old bananas that were almost binned to make Banana Muffins!

50 Things – Bug Hotel
Responsible Citizen/Confident Individual
To make our bug hotel, we recycled our plastic bottles and cut a space in the side. We had to use good looking skills to find different natural materials such as sticks, stones and fir cones, to stack inside our bottles to provide shelter for the bugs.
After finishing our bug hotels, we placed them in the garden to see if any bugs would be attracted to our hotels. We visited a few weeks later and found a few creepy crawlies in our hotels so we were very pleased to have helped the wildlife in our school grounds. Good job, Asteroids!

We have enjoyed many Harvest activities this week. We collected groceries for the Food Bank, enjoyed a Harvest Assembly with Rev. Cameron, ground wheat to show how flour is made and baked bread. At art we created scarecrows, harvest wreaths and printed apple patterns. We played the glockenspiel, following patterns, to play autumn songs. We also make tasty apple punch.

The Sungazers have been learning about Harvest this week and how it is celebrated. We collected leaves and natural objects outdoors to make our own Harvest wreaths:
We went on a Harvest food hunt around the class. The pupils really enjoyed this and we had lots of great reading, talking, and image recognition:
As part of our Farm to Fork theme, as well as Harvest, we looked at the difference between foods that come from plants and animals:
To finish off our week of learning, we followed a simple recipe to make Oaty biscuits:
Have a wonderful holiday from everyone in the Sungazers!!

Harvest Festival Fun
We have enjoyed our time learning about harvest time, different foods produced, helping others and being thankful for the food we eat.
We went on a food hunt round our classroom and used a checklist to make sure we had found all the items, we made a scarecrow and chose which materials to use for the scarecrow’s hair. We also collected food for the local food bank and took it to the collection point in the school. This afternoon we made our own classroom harvest wreath and made a harvest shaker to shake while we sang harvest songs at the end of the day.
Well done, Asteroids!
The Transition class were Responsible Citizens this week when they worked on their own individual targets. Targets ranged from helping with school chores, washing face and hands, working in groups and choosing self regulation items. Everyone was very focused.

As part of our class Enterprise, we grew & made our own snacks to enjoy at our MacMillan Coffee Morning. We started off by planting and growing water cress to make Egg Cress sandwiches. We then made our own Soda-bread and butter – which took a lot of shaking! We made the sandwiches fresh this morning with all of our ingredients.
Some pupils enjoyed the taste of the lemon we used for Soda bread!
We then enjoyed our sandwiches, some treats and tea/coffee this morning!
