Fauna & Flora Cake Sale - May 2022
Our children continually amaze us! Just yesterday, a group of year six boys asked to do a cake sale after school in aid of Fauna & Flora. In our Eco Squad meetings, we have been discussing the importance of protecting and saving our bees. Luca, a member in the Squad, is especially passionate about looking after our bees and has inspired us all with his wealth of knowledge. A great cake stall, well done boys! And your cakes tasted delicous!

We are incredibly proud of the girls who all baked cakes over a weekend for the sale. An amazing £182.50 was raised and Alice and Libby C both raided their money boxes to make the total up to £200. Great citizenship skills girls.

Star Count: a lockdown-friendly stargazing activity
'We think that dark and starry skies are a special part of our countryside. Nothing beats looking upwards to see velvety blackness, with twinkling constellations as far as the eye can see.
Our buildings and streetlights emit light, though, and this can affect our view of truly dark skies. We want to make sure that we can all enjoy starlit nights, and we need your help in measuring what effect light is having on our views of the galaxy.
What is Star Count?
The best way to see how many stars we can all see in the sky is… to count them! So we’re asking people from all across the country to become citizen scientists and look heavenwards from home for one night. Join in by choosing a clear night between 6-14 February 2021, looking up at the constellation of Orion and letting us know how many stars you can spot.

Wormery
Click on the link for instructions: https://www.science-sparks.com/make-your-own-wormery/ or read the instructions below.
- Collect some worms from the garden. Look in the compost heap, under stones in damp places or dig a hole.
- Cut the top ¼ off the bottle, to make a lid. Make a slit in the side of the lid so that the top can close over the bottom part.
- Fill the bottle with alternating layers of sand, soil, sand, compost, sand etc. Spray each layer with water so that it is damp.
- Add a few worms to the top of the bottle and watch them burrow down. Then add the ‘food’ to the top. Wash hands well after handling worms and compost.
- Wrap the black cardboard around the bottle to make it dark. Worms do not like light and it will encourage them to burrow around the outside of the bottle so they can be observed.
- Place the wormery in a warm place. Remove the cardboard for observation periods and record findings. Check that the contents are damp and that there is food available for the worms.
- After 1 week, release the worms back into the garden.
Do not feed worms citrus fruits or onions.

Litter Picking
A big thank you to Angela, Jess and George who collected 3 bags of litter on a walk from Duddenhoe End to Chrishall. The children were very proud of their achievement and what it meant for the environment. They were very surprised at how much litter there was. As a school we must explore how we persuade everyone in the community to not drop their litter.
