Craft Club


Our first eco-brick creation!

Eco-council are pleased to announce that we have made our first eco-brick creation. Keep sending in your eco-bricks… we are beginning to assemble some of these to make quirky furniture items like this fantastic stool…! Some of our children visited other schools to demonstrate how to make eco bricks and help the environment-they did an amazing job of sharing their powerpoint presentation and inspiring other future citizens of our world.

 

Eco-Council Project

Our eco-warriors have been trying to think of ways that we can reduce the amount of plastic waste we throw away. They presented an assembly to share ideas including reusing bottles, bags and packed lunch containers. They have decided to start collecting ‘eco-bricks’ (plastic bottles filled with plastic waste) to avoid it going to landfill. We are enjoying cramming as much plastic into bottles as we can! We hope to make some interesting creations with these next half term.

READING CLUB AND LIBRARIANS

Our children love Reading Club and it is GREAT to see so many of you passing your love of

books on to our younger children. Keep it up!

GREAT TO SEE THE CHILDREN RUNNING THEIR OWN CLUBS

NEW CLUBS FOR 2020

As we like to keep things fresh with St. Francis, we have developed new and exciting clubs for this term. We try to encourage all children to participate in break-time, lunch-time and/or after school clubs – we always have lots to offer. As well as promoting 30 minutes of daily exercise daily, we want children to learn and develop new skills – skills they don’t even know they have! For those children who are gifted and talented – we want clubs to support their love of learning – growing their skills and enthusiasm.

UFA CURRICULUM CLUBS
