A message from Mrs Jeffries…

At Christmas this year I left my school in Dunfermline to take up a new post at a school on the west side of Edinburgh.

I am still working in P2 and I am continuing the ‘Making Good Choices’ project with my new class – P2A.

P2A is a group of 22 children who live in Edinburgh, Scotland.

We looked back at the subjects covered on this blog so far and we looked back at the first post about use of paper.

We watched the clip on that post and read the ’10 Things I can Do To Help My World’ book and we started to think about using paper…

What we learned from the video clip:

• You can use paper to make things rather than putting it in the bin – like wrapping up a gift or making a diary – AA
• You should always reuse the paper – EM
• You don’t chuck it the bin – JW
• You can recycle it – EM

Why is it important to save paper?

• We use trees to make the paper – RB
• Animals live in trees – EM
• We are loosing important parts of our world – AA
• The trees provide food and shelter for lots of animals – KC
• Protect us from the weather – JW
• Stop the storm water from flooding us – KC
• The more trees we keep chopping down the less air we have – KC
• Trees clean the air – HN

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN OUR CLASS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

1. Use both sides of each piece of paper. (AA, RK, SW, JC and HN)
2. Only use a little bit of paper each day (CS)
3. Do your drawing on a little piece of paper (JW)
4. Use small cut off bits of paper for making. (KC)
5. Recyle it when it is used. (RB).
