Habitats and Improving our Environment
During the Science Week the children will be helping to improve our school environment through a variety of exciting projects.
We are collecting resources for all our projects. We want to try to use recycled items and reuse materials as much as we can.
Resources can be sent in with your child, into their class. Please label resources with the year group they are intended for. We have storage, so you can start bringing in the resources now!
