All of the children in school this week have had a fantastic time learning about different aspects of climate change.
EYFS learned about litter and plastic pollution and our plastic bottle top collage is under way. Nursery used litter pickers to safely collect some litter as well as using the water tray to recreate how plastic can affect our sea wildlife. Reception produced some fabulous work on plastic pollution as well as learning a song which we are sure many parents will have heard over the course of the week!
KS1 looked at energy saving and the little tasks we can do to save energy. They had an assembly on Climate Change and read Switch and the Energy Saver. Plastic straws were exchanged for paper ones in one classroom and the children made energy saving posters. Year 2 were each given a job to do such as ensuring the lights were switched off when a room was not in use.
Years 3/4 looked at recycling and are very knowledgeable about what the different recycling symbols mean. They sorted materials into groups and produced posters all around recycling.
Years 5/6 looked at the Greenhouse Effect. Year 5 had an assembly on what this is and some carried out an experiment to demonstrate how the earth is heating up. Other children visited the beach where they carried out a session on rock pooling. This involved a timed survey of the sea creatures in our local area to see how populated our beaches are.
All of the children have worked incredibly hard this week and have learned a lot about climate change. We think their work is incredible.
