HELP - a desparate plea!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have any compost that I could use tomorrow, pretty please - rather than spending a fortune on new bags, I would rather see if there are any half bags that need using up first!?

Also, if anyone has any part used BRIGHT gloss paint that they could donate for the tyre planters, that would be great too!

Thank you!

Home Learning Activity Year 3       – week of Friday 26^th February

We have asked the children to create an “Eco Poster” that focuses on an environmental theme of their choice.

(Some possibilities:  “Don’t Drop Litter”, “Save Energy – Don’t Waste Electricity”, “Stop the Elephant Hunters!” “Recycle Your Household Waste”, “Polar Bears in Danger from Global Warming”, “Put Your Fruit Waste in the Compost Bin” – and many more, of course.)

Year 3 Class Assembly

Dear Parents,
Just a quick blog to remind you our Year 3 Class Assembly is next week on Friday 4th March at 9.20am in the school hall.
We hope to see you there.

Year 3 Myth Writing

This week the children in Year 3 have been enjoying writing their own stories in the style of ancient Greek myths.
Here are some of the targets that the children have been working towards:

I have remembered to write in sentences marked by capital letters and full stops.

I have used capital letters for names.
My capital letters are clearly bigger than my lower case letters.
I have used adjectives, adverbs and other interesting words to make my story more detailed and exciting.
I have used connectives to link clauses into compound sentences.

Recycled Owl Competition

 

During our “Eco Week” we are holding a competition open to all children in all classes.

Can you create an OWL from recycled materials? Your finished creation will need to be made from things that will withstand the outdoors. We are planning to display all of the owls in the trees and other high perches around the school grounds.

The deadline for entries to the competition need to “wing” their way here by Wednesday 2^nd of March.

 

We need your help!

Eco week – Week commencing 29^th February

We need your help!
