Week Beginning 5.3.2018







After a really snowy week it seems like Spring is finally on its way as the days become longer and warmer (slightly).

It was good to hear the children talk about their adventures in the snow, sledging down the hills in the Heath and building snowmen.

This week we had A LOT of catching up to do so we have worked incredibly hard.

We started by reading the story 'One Plastic Bag' by Miranda Paul. This is a true story about women in The Gambia finding creative eco ways to recycle plastic bags.

We acted out the story and each day wrote a different part in our books: the beginning, the middle and the ending.

 

 

As you know this weekend is a very important one as we celebrate Mother's Day. So we got busy and baked some special buns.... 

 

 

 

 

mixed it al together, baked, decorated them and........................

Beautiful cakes ready to be handed over to our special guests on Wednesday morning!

We have also managed to make a card for our lovely ladies, take a look:

 

 

 

 

We have joined the rest of the school in 'Grow Your Own Potatoes' competition and have planted the seeds in special bags. All we have to do now is wait and when the time will come harvest the crop.

You can find out more about this competition online. Search online 'Grow your Own Potatoes' and follow the link.

In Maths we have collected information in a tally chart and created a pictogram showing what type of litter we found around our school. 

Crisps wrappers were the most popular rubbish whilst glass was the least popular.  

 

Continuing with our eco theme, thank you to everyone who has donated 'plastic rubbish' for our art afternoon this week.  With a little help Mrs Webb and Miss Welby managed to sort it into the right boxes for the different teachers...

 

''I'll take the lids to Mrs Jenkins, you take the yogurt pots to Mr Balls.'

 

 

 

We had a lovely time Friday afternoon using them to create all sorts of wonderful things.

 

 

We have also completed a lovely writing activity, retelling the story of One Plastic bag and leant to count from 1-5 in Wolof, just as Isatou (from our book who may do this, when she is crocheting her bags.)

 

 

We have also enjoyed some interactive games learning how to recycle all of the different kinds of rubbish.

 

'I think the newspaper goes in the paper bin'.

 

Finally, HUGE excitement this week as work as started in our outdoor area, watch this space.

 

Don't forget...Mother's Day messages are in the Beccles and Bungay this week.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
