Sharing the Learning Assembly Nov 2021
3.11.21 COP26
We have been learning about climate change and what we can do to make a difference. We spoke about COP26, the climate conference that the world leaders have attended to speak about what different countries are going to do to help reduce climate change. Together as a class we read a book called Greta and the Giants. We had a circle time discussion and spoke about all of the small changes that we can make to help to save our planet. In pairs or small groups we made climate promises and posters. We took our posters outside and had a peaceful protest in the playground to show our promises.

3.9.21 Junk Modelling!
During our assembly last week, Mrs Blair and Mrs Page told us some information about climate change and what we can do to become Climate Leaders. We spoke about making small changes such as switching off the lights when we leave a room and recycling our rubbish. This week Mrs Blair shared an idea with us to encourage us to be Climate Leaders. She asked us to bring empty packaging such as cereal boxes and bottles into school to recycle into junk models. We all brought in lots of different bits and pieces which we used to help us design and create our fantastic models. We made rockets, xylophones, robots and maracas! Well done P1/2!
