We have been busy this week taking part in a number of activities for eco week.
Monday started with an exciting drama workshop, where the class explored the themes of climate change and sustainability through a range of drama techniques.
On Tuesday we learnt about biodegradation and how long it took different materials to break down. We've set up an experiment on the playground which we will leave out over next half term to observe for ourselves biodegradation in action.
On Wednesday we took part in a class litter pick around the school site, recording the rubbish we collected in order to reflect on it back in class. Together we picked up 272 pieces of litter.
On Thursday, we designed new posters reminding children to put their litter in the bin!
Across the week we set ourselves the challenge to keep the classroom lights off all week. It's been a little tricky, but we've managed it!
All in all, it's a been a great week, raising eco awareness.
