Yesterday, we had visitors from the recycling centre in Doncaster who came to explain what recycling is and the process it goes through. We were amazed to see all the different stages the litter goes through to be recycled. We had a game of “where do we chuck our litter”. The children had to stand by the bin they thought that piece of litter goes in. Charlie smashed it and was our recycling expert!

In expedition this afternoon, children explored different places and things in Doncaster and discussed whether this was in the past or the present. We discussed whether these features were human or physical features. We also discussed the population of Doncaster and what impact this has.

On Friday, we completed our compass lesson to try to find the clues to work out our guiding question. Children had a map of the school grounds and clues to follow for example, 23 steps North. Children worked really well as crew to find all the clues. We then went back inside and figured out the guiding question. We were so excited to find out our guiding question for this expedition is “How can we protect our Wonderful World?”

As part of hook week, we have been outside on to the school field to pick up some litter. It was really surprising to see how much litter there is on our field. We collected lots of rubbish which we aim to make some artwork out of later on in the week.
