Eco-Week Competition
We had so many wonderful, imaginative entries to our competition to make something useful out of things that would otherwise be thrown away.
Here is just a selection of the entries.

Eco-Week Art Project
One of the highlights of Eco-Week was working with Rojo Art to turn piles and piles of rubbish into a fantastic, imaginative display. The whole school spent an entire day working on the project. We are delighted with the resulting display in the library

Trip to Virador Recycling Plant
Another part of Eco-Week was the KS2 visit to the recycling plant at Great Blakenham. Both classes did lots of follow up work back in school. Sycamore Class made this very informative display and wrote information leaflets to share what they had learnt.

Y2 Trip to the Middy
As part of their work on forces, children in Lime Tree Class went to the Middy to find out about forces in action on the trains. They looked at the couplings to see how engines push and pull the wagons and then had great fun launching an air rocket into the sky.

Making Fat Balls in Sycamore
Sycamore Tree Class invited parents and grandparents in to help them make fat balls for birds as part of their work on habitats. The birds in our school garden have been appreciating them since!

Y5 & 6 History, Art and Design Technology
Children in Chestnut Tree Class have been learning about Native American Indians in history this half term. As part of this, they made this magnificent eagle in art as well as these teepees in design technology..

Sign2Sing
Again this year, we took part in Sign2Sing. Children learnt how to sign as they sang a special song and raised £54.

Epiphany Procession
Rev. Julia Lall marked Epiphany with us this year with a procession down to the church in crowns that the children had made, led by a star, kings and camels. This was followed by a short service where we were joined by parents.

Moving Pictures
Here are some of the moving pictures that Willow Tree Class made and then peer-evaluated as part of their design technology this term.
