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 26th 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 2nd of March.

We need your help!


Eco week – Week commencing 29th February

We need your help!

Monday 29th February – We are having a whole school eco activity day.  The children will have chosen three activities they wish to do; they will visit other classrooms and work with children across the school.  If you are able to come on in and lend a hand, then please let your class’s team know. The more helpers the more successful these activities can be!

Also, events and learning through eco week are going on throughout this week. Again, if you have a small amount of time spare, please do let us know, we would really appreciate any extra offers of help. Again, please talk to your child’s teacher/ team.

Finally, thank you to all of you who have been bringing in wanted items by staff for eco week, we very much appreciate all of the items, these will help in ensuring the children’s learning and activities can be as exciting and fun as planned!
