| Earth Week 2022 |
Wowee! What a busy week it has been celebrating our wonderful planet!
The theme this year was Positive Action, and there were certainly a huge number of positive actions taking place across the school all week. The Reception children did a fantastic job of weeding and tidying the area down towards the bike storage to get it ready for planting. Thanks to the Woodland Trust, we now have a damson, pear and apple tree growing there, and there are plans to grow herbs and vegetables!
Year 6 attended a thought provoking workshop with Dr Verity Jones from UWE focusing on the issue of fast fashion. The Year 6 pupils found out more about where our clothes come from and everyone had the opportunity to sew on a button on to a piece of fabric.
Years 3, 4 and 5 got busy walking and counting their steps with the Pedometer Challenge from Bristol City Council, and Year 4 also looked at ways they could save water.
Year 2 created some amazing posters and artwork stating the actions that they will take to have a positive impact on the planet.
Unfortunately, due to the school closure for Storm Eunice, we had to postpone both the non-uniform day and a visit from the Author Sara Louisa who had planned to read her beautiful book 'Bettie Honeybee' to the Reception and KS1 classes, however we are hoping we can re-schedule these for Term 4.
