Do Everything in Love
Year 1 - The Odd Fish (June 2025)
Year 1 read the story of The Odd Fish and considered what alternatives they could use to single use plastics. It was great to hear their discussions and see their creativity when designing their own Odd Fish!
Earth Day (May 2025)
We were so excited to celebrate "being green" on Earth Day. Children came in dressed in blues and greens with recycled accessories! We learned all about the impact plastic can have on the marine life in our seas and oceans and considered what could be done about it. We were so proud of the families who joined our after-school community litter pick too. By creating sea creatures from recycled materials and reading stories, awareness of this problem was raised throughout school and our children went home confidently sharing key messages with their families too. Well done!
The Great Big School Clean (March 2025)
We have pledged to collect litter as part of the Great Big School Clean this month! How much litter can we collect from our local area?
Visit from Little Litter Warriors (February 2025)
Karen from Little Litter Warriors came to school to work with ALL the pupils. Together the reception and KS1 children worked to ensure our school grounds were litter-free. Year 3 and 4 children took a chilly, foggy walk up to Bredon's playing fields, where they found a staggering 1200 pieces of litter along the footpaths and around the hedgerows. Year 5 then visited the churchyard to litter pick, and found a glass bottle which was around 107 years old! Karen showed us all kinds of vintage litter and talked to us about how long different items take to biodegrade in our environment.
Year 2 reduce their waste (January 2025)
Mrs Eeles worked with Year 2 to think about which snacks produce the least litter. The children thought about healthy options and why it is best to bring in snacks which are not individually wrapped in plastic. The children had spotted some litter around our school grounds and so we took action and together, got it cleaned up!
Visit from Severn Trent Water (November 2024)
Rob from Severn Trent Water visited us to remind us all of the importance of saving water and making sure we are careful about what enters our drains and sewers. He showed us how the treatment works make sure clean water can be piped to all our homes and then KS2 children all had a go at filtering their own "Sewage Soup". Each class had a competition to see who could filter the dirty water most effectively!
Year 4 - Collaborative Recycled Art Work and sharing assembly (July 2024)
The children in Year 4 took inspiration from their visit to Envirosort and created a collaborative piece of art work, using items from the recycle bin to create a flower field which will be displayed in school. The work was also shared in our end of term church service, for all our families and members of our local community to see! They also spoke in front of the rest of the school, sharing their knowledge about what should and should not be recycled in our green bins.
