Earth Day 2021

Lesson: Understanding the World

Class: Rainbow Room Year: 2020 - 2021

This years theme for Earth Day was "Restore the Earth" 2021

In Rainbow Room we decided to concentrate on natural processes and ecosystems. Here at Sandy Lane we are very much a "green school" by recycling as much as we can and ensuring to use all our left over produce from sensory cooking sessions and provocations to make our own compost, which is then used in our vegetable patch. 

To make our compost we used vegetable peelings, tea bags, cardboard and left over fruit. The children spent some time exploring each item before it was added into our compost bin- the next few months are usually a very busy time in our garden as we plant lots of seeds and vegetable plants. The children were also encouraged to come into nursery wearing colours that represented the Earth and our surroundings. Happy Earth Day everybody.
