Year 4 had a very exciting week last week as part of our Reduce, Reuse, Recycle topic. On Monday, we were lucky enough to have a visit
from Teresa Well, a professional sculptor. She showed us examples of her work,
some of which she makes from recycled or reused items. She talked us through
the process of creating sculptures and then we designed and made our own models
and sculptures from household items which would have been recycled.
On Friday, we participated in a run by Eco Day the Youth
Hostel Association (YHA).We were outside (in the cold!) nearly all day long,
learning about coastal erosion, the water cycle, water conservation and team
building activities. We even got to let off a rocket or two! We had a great
week ‘learning by doing’ and our visitors have really enhanced our topic work.
