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!
