Crisp Packet Recycling Update!

Thank you parents and pupils who collected an amazing 27kg worth of crisp packets last year. 

That is  over 5000 packets!

We were able to send several shipments over the year and earned 5,300 points.

In June we converted those points into money for charity (£53.00)

I chose our local foodbank in Harold Hill to donate the money.

Unfortunately we have had to put the crisp packet collections on hold due to the new procedures in school but we hope to start collecting again in 2021.

Thanks again!

Big Schools Birdwatch!

Once again, in year 5, we have taken part in the RSPB's Big School Birdwatch.

We turned into conservation scientists helping to track the ups and downs of birds popuations across the country.

We have learnt how to identify species of bird, common to our local area, by looking at:

• The beak shape and colour
• The size of the bird
• The birdsong 
• The colour of its feathers
• The colour of its legs

This is us in action:

Kris said, "I now recognise many of the birds that I see on the way to school- 11 house sparrows this morning!"

Hope commented, "I want to work with animals when I grow up so I'm glad that I get the opportunity to start that now."

Here are our official results:

We also received a certificate for taking part, and helping a national charity.

Well done Year 5!
