Nursery

It’s been a very busy week in nursery, we have had 9 new children start this week, 4 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon and we hope that they enjoy being a part of our nursery.
This week we have been looking at rubbish and recycling like the rest of the school, we have looked at a story of a teddy who got put in the bin, and for PE we done an assault course to get the recycling in the bin.
We also visited Hagrid’s hut and had story’s and show and tell in there, wow what a week!!!

Reception

This week in school, there has been lots of activity and learning taking place around the topic of ‘Rubbish’ and this has continued through Reception. In Reception we have been learning about ‘The Little Green Monster’ who started off as a naughty little monster who didn’t look after the planet but soon learnt that Earth was beautiful and to keep it beautiful he had to make sure he reduced, reused and recycled everyday objects. So Reception we have been green monsters and have been very busy recycling lots of different objects around school. We have had lots of fun with some very big boxes, cardboards tubes and bottle caps! An exciting week was had by all and it has been lovely to see the children take an independent approach to their learning. Well done everybody.

We have had a 'Rubbish' week! We have learned how to make paper, learned about reduce, reuse, recycle and we have sorted rubbish depending on the materials they are made from.
We have enjoyed work in Hagrid's Hut and have had a class competition to make robots out of our Rubbish. We have had a fantastic week!

2C

Hello everyone!
Well we are all rubbished out!! We have found out so much information about how we can help save our plant by reducing, reusing and recycling.  We have been thinking about making adverts for street cleaners as Polly was very poorly.  We have also been designing our own uniform for street cleaners using rubbish or recycling old clothes.
Here is what the children have said they enjoyed this week.
Matthew said ‘I have enjoyed designing my outfit.  I was totally embarrassed walking down the catwalk but I was chosen by the other children as the best outfit in 2C’
Joseph said ‘I thought maths was exciting but a bit challenging because I had to round up or down when taking away 19 and 11.’
Have a safe and fun weekend

3AJ

We have had an exciting time during Rubbish Week in 3AJ.  We have learned about Reducing, Reusing, Recycling and Up-cycling where we make something new out of an existing item.  Jam jars will be returning home looking completely different after the class learned decoupage and colour skills.  We used our creative skills to  turn our rubbish into bubble blowers with some spectacular bubbles!  In maths, we have learned how to draw circles using a compass in order to make trees out of recycling. We now know how plastic is turned into pencils and fleece material – a long process!  We have learned a lot about the importance of recycling and how it is everyone’s responsibility to care for our planet.

Rubbish Week!

This week has been Rubbish Theme week. We have had a great time learning all about how to REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE. In Year 4 we have been up cycling jam jars. Up cycling is when you take an unwanted item and make it into to something attractive or useful to use. We have made our jam jars into candle holders and pencil pots using the art technique of Decoupage.

We have also been designing and making our own ‘Teacher Pleaser’ machines as part of our Explanation Text work in English. They were fantastic, ask your child to tell you about their own idea!

We have had a ‘rubbish’ week. In maths we analysed data for all the recycling and rubbish that was bought in. We compiled bar graphs to see which rubbish we throw away the most. Ask us to see what we throw the most and least away of. We have looked at persuasive language, ready to save the world and get everyone onto recycling. We took your trash and made treasure, musical treasure. As a class we did our version of Stomp and played our instruments to a rhythm in assembly. Mrs Weddell was extremely proud of our performance and made us play it again! What a great ‘Rubbish’ week it has been, who knew you could have so much fun with rubbish?
