SJB Primary School

Get ready for The Beatles’ song titles.

The eco committee have been busy tidying up the garden and doing some Spring planting.

Yesterday, Year 5 had a brilliant time at Ulverston Parish Church singing in harmony with other schools. We had lots of songs to learn and sing in harmonised parts, it sounded brilliant! The children sang beautifully.

Our report was written by Year 4:

All of our swimmers did very well and they swam very fast.

Lucy, Felix, Toby and Lexi swam for Year 5.

Ivy, Lacie, Robyn and Jack swam for Year 4.

We are very proud of all of our swimmers. This was the first swimming gala for some of them.

Well done to Robyn for making it to the final her backstroke race.

We have had a brilliant trip to Jodrell Bank, exploring the planetarium and museum.

This week the Eco Committee looked at ways we can have a more eco-friendly Easter and made a display of their ideas to share with everyone at the after school Easter Egg Hunt.

Here are their top tips:

1. Choose eggs with no plastic packaging and less excess packaging in general.
2. Buy Easter gifts, decorations etc second hand from charity shops or online.
3. Try to walk more or use public transport in the holidays and leave the car at home.
4. Recycle as much as you can! And compost food waste.
5. If you’re buying real eggs choose local, organic, free range ones.
6. Buy Fairtrade chocolate eggs. Even better if they are vegan.
7. Eat a bit less meat and dairy and get some protein from plant sources instead, e.g. beans, nuts, and lentils.
8. Make your own cards, Easter baskets, gifts and decorations.

Happy Easter from the Eco Committee!
