The Wildlife Champions were excited to launch their new project during assembly. They have created their own plastic waste collection box. After lunch each day, cleaned plastic can be posted into the post-box and the Wildlife Champions plan to monitor the amount and type of waste that we have across the school. The Wildlife Champions are keen to reduce the amount of plastic we use and explained the negative impact of plastic on our environment. We look forward to finding out the results of their project.
The Tawny Owls task this week was to build a strong wall using a box of different materials. They worked well as a group, discussing the materials and predicting which ones would be best to use, before making their wall. We then tested these walls using a hairdryer to see if they were stable and strong.
The Tawny Owls have printed their own paper and created wonderful patterns. They have then used this to create a collage flower. I think you'll agree that they are fantastic!
