P4s had an excellent end to term 1. During STEAM week we spent time researching the impact of plastic on the environment and learnt about ways in which everyone can help keep our planet as healthy as possible. The class brought in plastic items from home and we spent an afternoon upcycling them into new and exciting products. P4s created bird feeders, Halloween and Christmas decorations, handbags… we even made some new storage containers for the classroom!

Following STEAM week and the conversations we had, P4s felt that they wanted to do their part around the school to help keep plastic off the ground. Many of the children chose to give up their break and lunch time to litter pick around the playground – very well done to you all!

The beginning of Term 2 will be spent rounding off our Egyptians topic and finishing our first class novel, The Wild Robot. We have two new class novels to read before Christmas – which we are very excited about 🙂
