RECYCLE ROBOT
We have been sorting, organising and recycling materials in year one.
The whole school have focussed on the environment this term and we have been particularly looking at recycling materials.
We named and sorted materials. We have discussed whether they are natural or man-made. Are they dull or shiny? Magnetic or non-magnetic?
We have also looked at the importance of recyling materials.
Did you know it takes at least 300 years for a plastic bottle to degrade? This means lots of our rubbish in landfill sites will be there for hundreds of years.
To remind us all about the importance of recycling, year one made a robot out of recycled rubbish. We have displayed it in the key Stage One hall along with our own individual robots. We looked very carefully at the materials and decided which were most suitable.
Please help year one and RECYCLE YOUR RUBBISH!

Book your summer holidays at our travel agents
Fancy a holiday this year, come and book at our travel agents excellent prices on offer!
To link in with our topic of travel and places around the world we have made our role play area into a travel agents and airport.
We have sorted all the travel brochures into the different destinations we might like to visit. Then you can get yourself a booking form and with the travel agents help, they will book your holiday. Tickets for the plane, train , ferry or coach are issed straight away so there is no hanging about for the post. Passports can also be issued here.
If you don't fancy a long holiday you can always book a day trip, there are many places on offer like the war museum, natural history museum, boating trips and many more.
Please remember before entering the airport to have all your luggage clearly labelled as it will be checked by security. It then makes it's way along our conveyor belt and onto the plane. Don't forget to get your passport stamped. Then, take a seat in our departure lounge and read all about Barnaby Bear in one of our books.
If you have time you can always fill in a postcard and post it in the post box or alternatively you can admire the fantastic chalk pictures we created using only half a picture from a holiday destination.
Sounds exciting doesn't it! We love it!

Traffic Survey
Year 1 have carried out a traffic survey.
In Year One this half term our Geography topic is road safety. In class we have been talking about the importance of staying safe near roads. We decided we needed to know how to tell if a road was busy. We compiled our ideas which were looking at the road, listening to the noise of the traffic and finally by counting how many cars were on it. We used a carefully designed chart to record any cars, buses, bikes, vans, lorries and motorcycles that passed. In partners one person took the role of observer (looker) whilst the other recorded the findings (ticker). We really enjoyed counting the traffic and we made a graph of what we found.
Find out more information and play road safety games by clicking on the link.

Around the World with Barnaby Bear.
This term Year 2 have been looking at a different country each week as Barnaby Bear has been on his travels. We have tasted garlic bread from Italy; bagels and pretzels from America; and prawn crackers from China. Every week we stick a bear on the map of the World to show where Barnaby is, and to think about how he might have travelled there. We looked at the flags of all the African countries, and designed some of our own. We used Word to type up what we found out about America, and added clip art to make our work more interesting to our readers. Why not come to our classroom and see where Barnaby is going next ?
