Due to the recent weather warning for today (high winds and heavy rain) we will be postponing our trip to the Sealife Centre. Please pass this on to members of Grayling 1 class who may not see this important update.
We know this will be disappointing for the children-we will have some Easter fun in the classroom, instead!
Mrs Keys
It was a real treat to see some chicks in Grayling 1 this afternoon!
The children have been enjoying making soda bread – it looks and smells delicious!
Grayling 1 had a fantastic afternoon making some paintbrushes out of natural materials!
It was lovely to see so many of you at our Stay and build a lighthouse session this week!
Look at this amazing model that came in this morning!
Please check inside your child’s book bag for their tally sheet! There are some brilliant prizes to be won for the top three classes!
From Monday, Morning 11th to Sunday Evening 17th March we would like you to count your plastic that you throw away or recycle. This is part of a National Campaign that Greenpeace and Everyday plastics are running. The results will be part of a report that will go to the government to help reduce the amount of plastic that is being used. For example fruit and vegetables in plastic bags.
In 2022, nearly 250,000 people from schools, households and communities across the country made The Big Plastic Count the biggest ever investigation into UK household plastic waste. It showed that nearly 100 billion pieces of plastic are thrown away in the UK each year, with hardly any of it recycled.
The rest is burned, sent abroad or ends up in landfill. We can’t recycle our way out of the plastic waste crisis.
Use the tally sheet to help you keep count of your plastic throughout the week. Put it near your bin or on your fridge door.
Then record your resuslts by using our own link that will help us calculate our class plastic footprint. Results need to be recorded by 31st March
What a lot of words! Thank you for supporting this wonderful event!
Grayling 1 had a fantastic time litter picking on the Great Field! Between us we managed to collect a big bag of rubbish! Thank you to those of you that were able to come and help. Thanks to Mr Moore for sourcing enough litter pickers for everyone in Year 1! When you go on a walk with your child maybe you could take your litter picker with you!
This beautiful print by Japanese artist Hokusai inspired us to create our own Great Waves!
We used pen to draw lines and shapes then added colour with pastels.
Our attention to detail was fantastic – can you spot people in the fishing boats and Mount Fuji in the background?
