Our recycled sculpture

Mrs Holden is one of our fabulous parents, who now works at our school. She is also a mosaic artist. We collected lots and lots of plastic bottle tops and Mrs Holden and Mr Holden helped us recycle them into a piece of art work!

Can you guess what it's going to be? Watch out for the finished work - it will be on Miss Leftley's wall very soon!
Big thanks to Brian and Jewsons who very kindly donated the wood and waterproofing material.

Bug sculptures

Peter is an environmental artist. He came to work with the 4/3 and 5/4 classes to make woodlice. The children loved making them. They look amazing don't they?

The sculpture taking shape.

Adding antenna

Bug hotels!

We had to pack pine cones into the pots so that they wouldn't fall out.

Isn't our bug hotel amazing! Thanks to Chris for Roots and Shoots at Holt Hall, who helped us make it. We think lots of bugs will be very happy here!

Recycled robots!

Lots of our children read the story about Scrapman. Some of our children did some drama, others did some pictures.

As part of ICT on control, the 6/5 children have cleverly incorporated their work into sustainability week. Look at their fabulous recycled moving robots!

Recycled art work

Look at all the lovely art work from across the school. Can you see what we have recycled? There are socks, plastic bottles, fabrics and lots of other things too.

The 2/1 classes have been weaving.

The 1R classes have made sock puppets to make Tiddalik laugh!

Our hall display

As part of our sustainability theme, we have looked at habitats for our hall display.

Woodland habitat

Paper making

Did you know that you can use old paper to make new? We have been learning how to make recycled paper so that we can use it for displays.

Do you like our recycled fish? Mrs Kineavy's class made some for their coral reef. Don't they look fabulous!
