Jubilee Planting

Sweet peas and sunflowers

To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we will be creating a 'Jubilee Garden' located outside Acorns. Each child and member of staff at school is invited to plant a specially commissioned Jubilee sweet pea seed, as well as range of sunflower seeds, which will create s stunning display . We will also be planting a wild flower border around our Jubilee tree (planted as part of the Green Canopy scheme) on the front field. A special blend of wildflower seeds has been created for the Jubilee, with a red, white and blue theme. We can't wait to see them bloom!

Litter Picking

To demonstrate our Key value of 'Respect', we have participated in the 'The Great Big Schools Clean with Keep Britain Tidy' campaign, which was launched this week. We enjoyed a live lesson featuring a children's author, Sarah Roberts, who read her book, 'Somebody Crunched Colin'. Each class took part in litter picking in the school grounds with our new litter-pickers. It was astonishing how much rubbish we collected! Children are reminding themselves to dispose of their litter carefully to show respect to the school grounds as well as to the environment.
