All the children in the school have participated in a number of exciting and educational Science and Environmental learning activities. Priory Country Park Ranger Jane visited each class to teach them about nectar producing plants and trees in our area. We have a much better understanding of how important it is to take care of the habitats where nectar drinking insects like butterflies and bees live.  Everyone made a nectar feeder for  their own garden out of recycled materials like old CDs and plastic sacks - they are beautiful! Years 1 and 2 will hear an Electrical Safety talk by an EDF educational speaker this week. Bedford Borough's FLYNN the BIN will talk about ways we can get involved in 'recycling, re-using and reducing'at school and home to make our planet GREENER!!  A group of Keystage 2 children will walk to the Putnoe green near our school for a BIG TIDY litter pick of this area to keep it litter free and beautiful for our community! On Wednesday afternoon years 1 and 2 will partner with a child in years 3 and 4 for a collaborative science investigation. All of us will gather together at the end of the day to share our work in a whole school assembly!  Remember to turn off your lights for an hour on WORLD EARTH  HOUR - March 23rd at 8:30 p.m. - it will save our planet lots of energy and remind everyone how important it is to turn off lights and switches that are not in use!  Eco, our school environmental mascot says:  'GO, GO, GREEN!!' If any grown ups want to volunteer to help a class with gardening activities for half a day each week, please come by and see Mrs. Humphreys for more information (training is provided, FREE!). Many thanks.
