Caring for the environment

20th July 2021S Robson

We are planting wildflower seeds to create more areas for our pollinators, and reusing water from our water butt, and milk containers as watering cans.

Unfortunately isolations have prevented us from carrying out our traditional sports day (so far!), but Mr Steadman has kindly put together some videos to help those children currently isolating to take part in some sports day activities at home! Teachers will be sharing the videos with pupils over the coming days.

These 6 activities (egg and spoon, waddle, balance shuttle, and hopping races as well as a target toss) can be done individually or with a family member, and the videos explain how they can be done without any complicated equipment.

We would love to see any videos or photos of you carrying out the activities at home! Please e-mail these to your teachers.

We hope to hold a sports day in each year group next week before the end of the school year.

From Field to Fork

7th July 2021S Robson

Some of our allotment club helped to pull up and pick some vegetables. They will be used by our school cook to offer tasters to pupils. It’s good to find out where our food comes from.

Y3 Fun in the allotment

6th July 2021Abi Samuels

This week Year 3 visited our allotment- it was lovely to see all the fruit and vegetables that we have planted finally grow. We helped pick out the lettuce, cabbage, strawberries, radishes, carrots and onions! We then returned to class to try out all of the tummy vegetables- we thoroughly enjoyed our tasting session and our favourite vegetable was the radishes. We can’t wait to return!

Y3 Allotment Duties

2nd July 2021J Devlin

Y3 have enjoyed visiting the allotment over the past few weeks to check on our various plants, fruits and vegetables. We have been popping in each day to care for our plants to ensure they are getting everything they need to grow. We were so excited when Mrs Robson told us some of our vegetables were ready to pull and try! We particularly enjoyed the radishes, spinach, carrots and strawberries
