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!
