🌍 Celebrating Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday
This weekend, people across the country are celebrating a very special milestone 🎂🌿
We are marking the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough 🐘🌱, whose incredible work has inspired generations to care for our planet. Long before environmental care became widely discussed, he helped raise awareness about protecting Earth and all living things 🌎💚
As a school, we understand stewardship from a spiritual perspective, but we are also grateful to anyone who encourages care and respect for the world we share 🌿✨
🌟 Earth is a beautiful creation, and we all have a part to play in looking after it.
💚 Weekend Challenge:
Can you do one thing each day to help protect the planet?
Maybe try walking instead of driving 🚶♀️🚶♂️, recycling more ♻️, or reducing waste 🌱
🌳 Forest School Adventures
Forest School took us on a shape adventure this week! 🔺🟡⬛
Children didn’t just spot shapes in nature — they used tablets 📱 to photograph them too! What brilliant explorers! 🌿📸
🌻 Gardening & Outdoor Learning
Year 1 and Year 2 have been busy in the school garden planting sunflower and sweet pea plants 🌻🌸
They carefully studied roots, watered their plants, and learned exactly what plants need to grow strong and healthy 🌱💧
To protect their hard work, they created a brilliant scarecrow — the Gruffalcrow 🐦⬛🌾 — designed to keep those cheeky squirrels away!
In Forest School, children also enjoyed safe whittling 🔪🌳 using potato peelers, discovering beautiful patterns hidden in wood bark. Nature is full of surprises! ✨
🎥 Nature Documentaries
To celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s birthday, children created their very own nature documentaries 🎬🌿
They researched animals 🐅🦜, wrote scripts ✍️, and filmed their own clips — complete with some wonderfully wobbly camerawork 😂📹
We also loved seeing a thoughtful birthday card sent earlier in the week 💌— a lovely gesture of appreciation for someone who has inspired so many.
📰 Young Journalists in Action!
Another exciting highlight this week was a creative writing project involving a very mysterious leprechaun sighting in the school grounds 🍀👀
Children wrote and presented news reports using both formal and informal language — and absolutely shone as reporters and presenters 🎤🗞️
We might just have some future journalists in the making! 🌟
💛 A Wonderful Week
From French cafés to forest adventures, gardening, science, storytelling and celebration — it’s been a truly brilliant week at Newbold School 🌟
