Sustainability in Action

There is much to be learned this Term! Here is a snapshot of some of our sustainable explorations:

Year 6- While creating their own light installations, Year 6 is considering the long term impacts of technology on the environment. After brainstorming technological items, Year 6 researched the life span and disposal measures to be taken for each.

Foundation- Looking at life-cycles and studying life has been exciting for Foundies, from watching eggs hatch to singing songs about plant growth.

Year 1- After closely looking at The Story of Creation, Year 1 is looking at how to reduce their rubbish output.

“We buried compost, rubbish and plastic toys and predicted what we think will happen to them in 6 weeks. I think the compost will rot away. I think the plastic will stay the same. The rubbish will get mouldy,” said Toby S.

“Compost is proof that there is life after death.” Anonymous
