P1 found a something very exciting in the playground today ……… A TREASURE CHEST!!!
It was full of coins, maps and treasure. Who could it belong to?
P1 are hoping to get some more clues to help us to work out where the treasure chest came from!

Article 28
You have the right to a good quality education.
You should be encouraged to go to school to the highest level you can.
REDUCE, REUSE,RECYCLE
P1a have been busy learning about how to be more ‘Eco Friendly’. We have been thinking about what wildlife live around the Bankton area and we draw some super wildlife pictures. We also designed pictures to go on the front of Asda’s reuseable bags!!
On Wednesday, we had a visit from ‘Bag Girl’ and she taught us all about how to reduce, reuse and recycle our rubbish. We played lots of super games and practised how to fight the rubbish monster!
Then we were challenged to sort the rubbish in to plastic, metal and cardboard into the correct recycling bins.
What can you do to help recycle at home?

Article 24
Every child has the right to the best possible health.
Governments must work to provide good quality health care,
clean water, nutritious food and a clean environment so that
children can stay healthy.
Today the nursery children have been playing outside where they had great fun playing in the mud kitchen and water tray.
We had a wormery in nursery today. We saw baby worms and worm eggs as well as some bigger worms. We learned that baby worms turn blue if they eat blueberries!! Some of us even held a worm!
As part of Eco week the morning nursery have been planting runner beans. The children will care for these and observe them growing.
This week P1b have enjoyed working hard on all things eco! We started off the week producing print outs of planet earth which we later decorated to make eco posters.
We also went on a wildlife hunt in the playground to get some ideas for the wildlife art competition. We thought up lots of ideas and produced some super detailed drawings for the competition.
On Tuesday, we took part in another competition to design a new reusable bag for Asda. We looked at some of Mrs Lloyd’s reusable bags to get some ideas and produced some fantastic designs.
On Wednesday ‘Bag Girl’ a recycling superhero visited Bankton to ask for some recycling help. She taught the children all about the 3 R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle – and the boys and girls helped her to fight off a nasty garbage monster. The children also successfully sorted a big pile of rubbish into metal, plastic and paper. Well done boys and girls!
We also learned about different food groups this week and used this to help us design a healthy packed lunchbox. We learned that protein helps us to grow, carbohydrates give us energy and vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegetables help us to fight off illnesses.
Well done boys and girls!
