Maison- We all wish you a Happy New Year.
Roman, Brendan and Rihanna got off to a great start and did some good work when we learned about writing the digits for this year. We thought 2019 was a very big number with 4 digits!
We have been trying really hard to be ‘excellent illustrators’ we are making our pictures detailed, colourful and neat.
Skye- I hope you like our pictures.
Mrs Cochrane and Mrs Stevenson shared the story ‘Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish’ by Michael Foreman.
The children were really good at recalling the main events of the story.
Brendan- A greedy man cut down all the trees and made factories that puffed out lots of smoke. All to reach a pretty and shiny star.
Lexie- All the little animals and flowers disappeared.
Tyler- The world was untidy, messy , dark and stinky!
Ethan- Dinosaurs and the man saved the planet by sharing.
Lucy- They planted flowers and trees.
We decided to look after our special world at Deans Primary School. The first thing we did was go on a litter audit of our school grounds.
We found lots of rubbish!
Sophie- I was shocked.
Elkie- I was really angry.
Sarah-Louise- I was very, very angry.
Scarlet- I was sad.
We found that the biggest problem was at the front of our school.
Aayan was really grumpy and Maison was shocked and couldn’t believe his eyes.
Even the trees and bushes had rubbish in them. We don’t think ‘Pot Noodles’ grow in trees! We are going to take action and be ‘litter Police’ to help look after our school environment. Even the smallest changes can make a big difference. We sat down with the teachers and made a big plan together. We talked about what we wanted to do and what we wanted to learn about this term. Here are some of our ideas so far.
Aayan suggested that we should make signs and learn about how littering affects animals.
Mark- Wants to design real life litter heroes.
Kullyn and Kayleigh had the great idea of doing a litter pick.
Brendan- Wants to learn how we can keep our playground healthy and how to make bug hotels.
Lucy- Wants to learn where the rubbish goes.
Elkie suggested that we need to look after our paper and use it well. She would also like to learn the colours of recycling.
We found some planters and thought we might be like the dinosaurs and plant some flowers. Lexie- That will make our playground look nice and tidy and bees will come and make honey.
This week we have learned the ‘e’ sound and made e for Elmo.
We had a team challenge to see how many e’s we could write in 1 minute. We then picked our favourite e from the other team. We were very proud of ourselves.
We had a go at making a giant e using our bodies and working as a team.
It was an eeeeeenergetic challenge and we think we did an eeeeeeeexcellent job.
