Bra-vo! Cleaning the area
PICKING LITTER On the morning of Tuesday 31st October our Junior PCSOs and the Junior Health and Safety Team was invited to join local police officers, PCSOs, the Litter Watch team and Raj Mehmi from Sandwell Council, to do a litter pick around the school and Warley Woods. It was all part of a community event called, 'The Safer 6 Campaign'. It runs for 6 weeks and organisations work together to make Sandwell a safer and cleaner place to live. Armed with litter pickers, ten adults and a bunch of enthusiastic children, we made our way up Barclay Road, through the pathways in Warley Woods and along Abbey Road. Whilst we filled bags with a variety of rubbish, the Litter Watch team commented on how our local area was kept remarkably tidy by our considerate residents and community. Well done Bearwood! Thanks to Mrs. Flanagan for the story. SPOON DOLL Year One children have enjoyed making a Victorian wooden dolly during our ‘Be Brave Day’. They have previously drawn a design and labelled materials that they would like to use. On Wednesday, they used their designs to help them transform a plain wooden spoon into a Victorian toy. There were some realistic and interesting designs, resulting in unique and creative dollies. Thank you to all of the adults who could attend, and for bringing in fabric and decorations to use with your child. Don’t worry if you couldn’t make the event- your child still made the dolly and enjoyed the experience, working with an adult. If your child hasn’t brought home their dolly yet, it has been put on display in school for all to admire. All dollies will be returned to you in time for Christmas! Thanks to Mrs Donnelly. for the story
