We care about our planet. We want to protect our natural resources and reduce waste. We appreciate the natural beauty of our school grounds, our community and the wider world - we want to protect this.

Using our Learning to Protect our Environment

Year 2 combined their science knowledge around materials and their properties with their D.T. knowledge of waterproof materials to create a sustainable bug hotel, full of natural materials.

Caring for Animals as the Seasons Change

Children in Year 1 spent time thinking about wildlife in the local area and how animals can be impacted as the seasons change. The children researched the eating habits and needs of resident birds, learning that during the cold seasons they struggle to find enough food. They then made some nutrient-filled bird feeders to provide the fat and seeds to cater for our feathered friends.

Wonderful Water

World Water Day was the perfect chance for children in Year 5 to explore why water is so essential to our lives; the risks of using too much water; and ways in which we can save water. The children followed engaged in a set of tasks called, The Ripple Effect, which was set up by Northumbrian Water. They participated in fun and engaging activities which really helped the children to understand the impact of wasted water. Did you know that the ideal length of time to spend in the shower is 4 minutes? Do you always turn the tap off when brushing your teeth? Well, Year 5 are water heroes now and are on a mission to save water both at school and at home!

Caring for Animals

Year 4 had a PAWsome day creating rehoming videos for some of the animals at Newcastle Cat and Dog Shelter as part of their Thrive learning! They had a lovely visit from Niamh and Willow who told them all about the fantastic work undertaken by staff and volunteers to keep the unfortunate animals in our world safe and sound. The shelter were thrilled to hear about the videos and can’t wait to see them.
