Good morning everybody,
This is a message from Howard’s Eco Reps.
Over the last weeks, we had started to compile a range of activities we wanted to suggest to you for Earth Hour, which is tonight at 20:30. We will be switching our lights off to show our awareness of problems around the protection of Earth, sustainability, the responsible use of resources etc.
Check out the official website: https://www.earthhour.org/
Here are our suggestions:
- Task: Write a poem about or to nature sharing your admiration of nature, your concerns, your pledges (what you could do to help). Then read it to another person or – sounds strange – to a plant.
-
“A voice for the planet” – Letter writing: Pretending to be “Mother” or “Father Nature”, write a letter to an important (maybe not so eco-friendly person/politician/…) voicing your pains and concerns and ask for immediate, specific action.
-
Writing Pledges: Write a pledge/plan of action that you promise to take in order to help protect our planet.
-
An Earth-Hour Game: Create a game with an environmental topic (e.g. Taboo/Speak out, Pictionary … – Eco-Version of Monopoly might take very long, though).
-
-
e.g. Pick 10 Topic words (related to Earth Hour, the Environment, …) and write them on a card each.
-
Then, to each word, decide on 5 taboo words that must not be mentioned when explain/describing the topic word,
-
Play the game with a partner,
-
-
- Howard’s Eco Bunting: Create bunting with a clear about: Why it is important to use resources on our planet responsibly and sustainably (so that future generations have the same access to the resources like electricity, water etc.)
- Make your message clear: This year’s mission: “A voice for the planet”
- You can choose your template. Remember to use colouring pencils (no felt-tips as they don’t show a sensible use of resources).
- Visit this website first for project ideas: https://wwf.panda.org/our_work/projects/our_planet_netflix_wwf_nature_documentary/what_can_i_do/?__hstc=&__hssc=&hsCtaTracking=c1945bc0-511c-4aea-aba9-e7e8b737a0ca%257C236304bd-24a6-4d78-86ff-93c4debba854
Remember to send your work (or a picture of it) to …

…so that we can display them on the blogs and website.
With a big thank you from your Eco Reps

Hi Year Four!
We hope that you are adjusting to your home learning experience at the end of the first full week and you are all keeping well.
If you have not had a chance to check it out already, please have a look at Class Dojo and send us a message. Please join us on this forum as you and your child can email us, send and receive photos, videos and see daily tasks in one place. We have sent all parents an email inviting you to join but this is a learning curve as we have not used the programme before so please let us know via teacher to parent if you have not received the invite and we will endeavour to contact you in a different way.
We will also be adding home learning tasks (see the link below for a picture of what you should see) via the to do section which we can post and share with all of you.
As always, continue to read, using Get Epic or your own books or books you have borrowed from school. We have added tasks to Mathletics and would love to hear about your experiences with Real PE and TT Rockstars.
New tasks for today’s home learning:
English: Try some spelling games to practise the suffix -tion on the spelling zone. Try the study, learn, games and then test sections. These activities are free so no need to sign up to the paid site!
