In order to be more sustainable, Edenside have decided not to hand out Christmas cards this year. Instead, all the children have signed a Christmas wall in our main corridor.

Did you know, in the UK alone we use enough wrapping paper to circle the world 9 TIMES?!

What could you do at home to be more eco friendly this Christmas?

At the end of each week we have been reflecting on our learning and working to make this explicit and visible. We have been working to write down one thing we have learned throughout the week onto a long piece of paper. Each week we add to the paper and over the year we will look back on our learning and discuss how prior learning linked to future.

This is a great way for us to think about learning rather than activities and to see how learning builds up.

This could also help spark conversations at home about what’s been happening in school. Can you use this to talk about your child’s learning?
