Environment Club - Feed the birds and animals this winter.

This week’s Environment Club focused on looking after our animals and birds this winter time. All the children who attended the club made a bird and animal feed, they camouflaged it with leaves and then placed it around our school field, so that animals and birds have a good food source this winter time. We have a few eager volunteers who will be responsible for refilling the bird and animals feeds, so that Carleton Green’s wildlife can rely on this food during the winter. Have a look and see if you can spot any.

Celebrating Diwali

We had a lovely day celebrating the Hindu festival of light, Diwali. We made diva lamps and lanterns, wrote messages in Diwali cards, made mendhi and rangoli patterns and listened to a story about Rama and Sita. We were also very lucky to have a visit from Mrs Shanbhag and her son to talk to us about how they celebrate Diwali in their family. Some of us were able to try on some traditional clothes and they all took home the kind gift of some sweets.

KS1 practised their dodging skills today. We played tig, dodge catch and dodge the beanbag. Some of us found it difficult to jump from one foot to another and keep our balance. Have a go at home,

Mr Ball Visits the Ducklings

Mr Ball is our Chair of Governors, but he came to visit us in his ’People Who Help Us’ role - a real life fire fighter! The children all listened very carefully and enjoyed thinking of their own questions to ask Mr Ball about his job. Some of them were also able to try on some of the special equipment that fire fighters use to do their job.

Reading Afternoon in the Ducklings

A big thank you to all of the Dads, Grandads, Uncles and other male family members that attended the reading afternoon. The children loved having their family members with them in class and sharing reading with them. This will hopefully enspire them to develop a love of reading too.
