Next week, the week commencing 22nd September, it is National Recycling Week.

To celebrate this, we need the help of our budding artists to design some recycling posters that we can have made into stickers for recycling bins around our school! Have a look below so for fab examples!

We have been working really hard as stewards to begin our recycling journey and we would like to keep improving by having some of your beautiful artwork linking to recycling.

You have until Friday 26th September to bring your artwork in to your Crew Leaders. Crew councillors will then bring them to our meeting where we will decide on the winning design!

We can’t see what you come up with!

On 13th September it is Roald Dahl Story Day. To celebrate we are rolling out a whole school competition that we would love for you to get involved in.

What is your favourite Roald Dahl story? Who is your favourite character?

Can you design a poster, story spoon, story stone etc to show your favourite. The Reading Ambassadors will select their favourite from each year group and they will be displayed in our new reading library!

Bring your entries in before Friday 26th September

During the next two weeks, can you create something about yourself for your new teacher?

You can be as creative as you wish.

You could:

• Create some artwork similar to the examples above
• Create a set of slides with information and pictures
• Write a letter to your new teacher to tell them all the wonderful things about yourself
• Complete the transition booklet that is attached to this post

Your new teachers can’t wait to meet you all this week and what a lovely way to help them to get to know you better!

Thank You Day is a national initiative in the UK dedicated to expressing gratitude to individuals and groups who make a positive impact in our communities. Originally launched in 2021 to acknowledge the efforts of NHS staff and other key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the day has since evolved into a broader celebration of appreciation and community spirit.

We would like to get involved by saying a big thank you to different people within our local community.

Create a postcard, thank you card or poster to someone in our community that you want to say THANK YOU to.

Make a list in Crew of all the people you want to say thank you to and bring in your completed cards next Monday! We would love to deliver some of the cards before the end of Summer Term!

Take a look at this video made last year:

Familiarise yourself with the information before our visitor comes in to visit – Can you share what you’ve learnt in Crew and create a poster to display on your crew board.

This week why don’t you get involved by:

• Trying some new fruit and vegetables that you’ve never had before
• Making a food diary of all the different meals you have eaten within a week
• Make a food diary of the meals you’ve eaten that include the dietary information e.g. amount of sugar, fats etc.
• Create a healthy food plate

Bring your work in to share with your Crew – We can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!

Keep an eye on the blog for days next week where Crew Council will be selling Fresh Fruit and Vegetables at Playtimes.
