Science Little inventors

Thank you so much to the KS2 children who took the time to create an invention idea after being inspired by our British Science/DT/ History week.  I sent the top 6 off to the brilliant website littleinventors.org and they have just emailed to say that they have been featured on their site.   Check them […]

A visit from Chris Connaughton

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed our visit from a ‘real life’ author.  They were totally engrossed in his storytelling and many came away inspired to write their own stories.  We have been learning a traditional tale about a clever fairy and a brave mouse who defeat an evil giant.  The children are now writing their own […]

The Great River Wye Spring Clean

Thank you to all of the children who suggested names for the barge that will be travelling down the Wye collecting rubbish on Sunday.  The winner was Evie in 3S with her name ‘The Eco Barge’ as chosen by the Community Clean up team and representatives from Horizon training.  She will receive a prize this […]

A link with Hereford Community Clean up team and Hereford train station.

As you already know the eco team are very busy recycling approx 600 plastic bottles a week, collecting food waste and recycling plastic pots from lunch times and litter picking around school.   They also recycle 400 crisp packets a week.  These get packed up and sent (via the community clean up group) to terra-cycle […]

The Big Pedal

Thanks to all who made an effort to bike, scoot or walk to school last week.  Our numbers have been submitted and we will have to wait until the end of this week to see who the winners of the Hereford competition are.  Fingers crossed! Mrs Steele and the eco team

Wiggly worms

Our Eco reps are busy bees at Lord Scudamore.  Each week they collect food waste from the infant classes and feed the worms in our wormery.  The rest is put into the compost heaps.  This way we will have lots of great compost and worm wee (which can be used as fertiliser) to help grow […]

Crisp packets

We are now recycling crisp packets in school.  These are flattened and bundled into packs of 100 and given to a local contact who forwards them to Terracyle.  This raises money for a local charity.   In just 4 weeks we have collected 1100! Many thanks to the people at school who help to flatten […]

How to be eco friendly this Christmas

Christmas cards with glitter need to have the glittery side removed as this cannot be recycled.  Wrapping paper can only be recycled if it does not return to its original shape when scrunched in to a ball with your hands.  If it goes back to its original shape it contains plastic/ foil and cannot be […]

Eco club have been very busy since we reformed in September.  We have welcomed new members in Year 2 – Mila, Harlo and Julia. We we have done several litterpicks in and around the school grounds and have come up with lots of other ideas which we can implement to make our school more eco […]
