Our Eco Committee for this year.
The Eco Committee made bird feeders using bird seed and lard. They then put these up around the park. This links in to our theme BIODIVERSITY and SCHOOL GROUNDS.
Sycamore class and the KS2 Eco committee did an amazing job weeding the beds by the Village Hall with the help of Angela from Food for Thought. We’ll be ready to plant soon. We were so impressed with how much the children got done in just 2 x 40 minute slots. Excellent work everyone!

Planet and People workshop linking to our theme of SCHOOL GROUNDS.
Last week, the whole school took part in a Planet Action Workshop which looked at how the natural world impacts our minds. In the classroom, the children looked at a scientific study which showed the value of time spent outside for boosting problem solving and other thinking skills. They then took part in an experiment to see how their ability to concentrate changed with different background noises. They then spent lots of time outside making up activities and games designed to address specific wellbeing challenges that they might face such as making friends, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed.

Sycamore class had an inspiring live lesson with 'the 3 engineers'. The highlight was the live reading of their book: The Adventures of Scout, Stop dropping litter. This fitted in perfectly with our MARINE theme.
The Eco Committee spent time yesterday afternoon joining in the RSPB Big Bird watch. They saw lots of different birds including these - wood pigeons, blackbirds, sparrows, a starling, magpies, blue tits, robins, chaffinches and a great tit. Excellent bird spotting Eco Group!

KS2 members of Eco Committee delivered a fantastic assembly to the rest of the school about problem plastics, especially single use plastics. They also explained the importance of the ocean and the problems that plastic can cause to marine life. Well done Eco Committee!
The children worked hard digging and weeding to prepare the ground for planting vegetables and wildflowers.
Sycamore Class have created some amazing poems about problem plastics and palm oil.
