Biodiversity Week 21st-25th

**HELP SAVE OUR PLANET**

Hi All,

Biodiversity week is fast approaching and I wanted to make you aware of a few competitions taking place in the school. 

1. Photography competition - Encourage your child to get out into the locality and go on a little hunt to capture pictures of birds, pollinators, plants etc. Once you have decided on the photo you would like to enter sent it to Fiona at: belmayneetfiona@gmail.com
2. Waste free lunch/picnic design -  This will be started in school, but the children may have a chance to bring it home to finish it at home. A waste-free picnic is a fun way to learn about food waste, packaging waste, and the importance of cutting down on what we throw away. They will be creating a poster, the poster may contain photos of waste free picnic's, with some information on how to stop food and packaging waste. Email entries to belmayneetfiona@gmail.com or send them into me and I will passed them on to Fiona.

The class are currently learning about Bees and how important Bees are to the Earths biodiversity. They will be completing a mini project in class based on their findings. The school is also having a Spring clean day on the Wednesday and on Friday 1st class will be taking part in a Bee workshop.  Photo's of their work will be put up on the blog. 

Thanks,

Rachel
