Hello everyone !

I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe - school is definitely not the same without you all !

Eco Eddie has asked me to ask you all if you could help him with our next Eco Brick challenge ??

We need to collect 257 2litre Eco Bricks !!! Yes that’s right 257 !! I know that sounds a lot but if we can all make just 2, 2 litre Eco Bricks per family we will have them in no time at all 👍😊 and think of all the plastic you are keeping out of our rivers and oceans 🌊🐳🐢🐠🥰 I know what brilliant Eco Warriors you all are 🌿

Now what do we need all those Eco Bricks for I hear you ask ??? Well Mr Moore and Eco Eddie have come up with a brilliant plan to make a stage for our Reception area, so our Reception children can sing, dance and perform whenever they like - doesn’t that sound fantastic 🎭🤹🏾‍♀️🎼

How do you make an EcoBrick?

1. Collect your clean and dry household waste. We recommend only waste that you cannot recycle (like dog food bags), but you can EcoBrick anything non-biodegradable and dry.
2. Twist your waste and insert it into a plastic bottle. Compress it as tightly as you can with a stick.
3. Keep doing this - make sure your bottle is unsquishable.
4. Think your EcoBrick is done? If you can squeeze it by more than 10% with one hand you should add more waste.
5. No longer squishable? It's done!

You will need your  grownups to help as they need to be packed really tight and you need to weigh them before you return them to school - a 2 litre bottle needs to weigh 660grams !! That’s quite a lot so remember to pack them tightly 👍

So happy Eco Bricking everyone!

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon 🥰

Mrs Underwood 😊

We had some visitors from Rainbow Haven Charity today. They talked to us about the work they do with Refugees and what it means to be a Refugee.

At Moss Park Infants we know that Refugee children have the same rights as us and we want to help them have their rights met, by sharing this knowledge and practically, by bringing in donations for our visitors.

We’re so proud of our Rights Respecting community 💗🌈

Moss Park Infants Is a Rights Based Community

The Rights Respecting Schools Award is a Unicef UK programme that aims to put children’s rights at the heart of schools in the UK. We want our school to embed children’s rights in our ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.

Please work with us on a journey to become fully Rights Respecting. This award will recognises our school's achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC or UNCRC) into practice within Moss Park Infants and beyond. We are excited to be on the rights-respecting journey.
