Term+2+Activities+2012-2013

Please fill in the table below with details about what you did this term. travelled to **Heartwood **forest. There we planted trees. We planted 220 trees, half of them Oak and the other half Rowan. Newsround showed other schools in action and we learnt that the Queens daughter would plant the last tree. The Woodland Trust’s aim is to plant over six million trees. We have helped create another generation of trees for when we are eighty years old. In the middle of March we were invited to gob **heron **spotting at Verulamium Park. Unfortunately, we didn’t spot every bird on the check sheet we were given, however we did manage to see a variety of different birds including a red kite which is not common in this area. We eventually saw herons nesting (including spotting them through telescopes) right after we got frostbite! || Our activity was good because lots of people were involved. Not just us but the whole eco school team and some other people. || we would go bird watching at verulamium park on a warmer day. Also we would make our eco film a little better as we sadly didnt win an award for it. || We are planning to make a biodiversity garden and focus on wasting less energy. || Also we only ran it for KS2. || We would have a longer period before the closing date. || TBC || This is where you will come to log your activities from the Autumn Term.

 * The Lea Primary School and Nursery || We ran a poetry competition in Fairtrade fortnight to raise awareness of Fairtrade. || Having Fairtrade Prizes was a good incentive. We held an assembly and showed some examples of poems.
 * Margaret Wix Primary School || We organised a community big dig where we invited parents and children to help improve the outdoor areas and dig over the allotment. Also we took part in a Waste Week project where we got each child to make a puppet or a musical instrument out of recycled items, it was very hard for us to pick a winner in each class. We asked our school to donate old clothes (that may be small or big) as an exchange for Science equipment. We were very exited about writing a article based on what we did this term! || We were really pleased to see how enthusiastic all the children were about making their puppets and instruments. || Perhaps the rewards could be better. || To help out at gardening club. ||
 * wheatfields || We have succesfully completed the Big bird watch. || Everybody in the school really enjoyed taking part and we spotted lots of birds. || Hopefully next time there will be more sunshine, and we put our bird feeders up to early. || we will be taking part in the bag 2 school. ||
