In our topic A Better World we learnt about doing our part to look after the environment, reducing our waste  and reusing  items by doing fun activities like junk modelling, making flowers from plastic bottles and collages of the polluted sea. We also learnt about recycling and using the special bins provided in school. In Literacy we read the story 'Captain Green and the Plastic Scene' and learnt key vocabulary like, endangered, polluted, reduce and waste and used these words to make speeches.  I'm sure Reception can convince you of the benefits of recycling and make you aware of the effects of pollution!

We enjoyed learning about the environment and picking up litter around us.

During the final week of this topic we held an fundraising event. We created a beautiful pencil pot from old tissue roles. We invited our adults to school to raise money for the charity Thames21 who help to clean up the River Thames.
