Eco Friendly Decorations by P2/3

💚Sustainable Decorations!💚

Miss Baxter set her class the challenge of making eco friendly decorations using everyday objects which they recycled. Learning for sustainability in a real life context!
Have look at what they designed and made at home!

Festive Nieve and her snow globe! 

Gulshin with Santa's sleigh and an angel, all made by recycling used paper.

Made from girders?! Alyssa used the label from an Iron Brush bottle to decorate her gift!

Kian crafted his snow globe from a jam jar and made it sparkly by adding sequins to the water inside it!

Jessica used marshmallows to make her edible snowman.

Nevaeh made hers from an old lightbulb this tree decoration now sparkles  thanks to the glitter adorning it and the other bauble is decorated with bits of an old CD.

Lewis made an elf using a toilet roll and scraps of paper-he was quite keen to pull it like a cracker.

Maria's Santa is so sweet, don't you agree?

Plastic isn't that fantastic!

Leon in P7 chose Space Junk as his topic for his research task, rather alarming to hear how much rubbish is now floating in space ....

The coloured dots show the rubbish.

Leon's presentation






Inspired by Blue Planet 2, the Eco Committee start work on reducing plastic litter and raising awareness of how we can all reduce our plastic consumption. They hope to present their information to the school at an assembly in January.

Hoe! Hoe! Hoe! (Apologies to Santa!)

I had a spare afternoon in my diary withe the end of Forest School for 2017 and so a group of "volunteers" assembled and we blitzed the poly tunnel in and hour and a half! Weeding, pruning, harvesting and sweeping up done!  A fantastic effort and it looked so neat and tidy once it was rid of the old straggly crops. We even found some carrots, parsnips, spring onions and a cauliflower-our FIRST and only cauliflower!
We've left a couple of potatoes in place and a few spring onions and the recycled the rest of the foliage.

Before...

and after! Ta-dah!!!
