Children’s farm Kidsrome will be joining the Maple Rd. market on Saturday April 16th for children to learn about farm animals.Children can also enter a competition to design a new poster for the Farmers’ Market.
This edition of the Eco Blog rounds up our activity as an Eco-School this term.
The Maple Eco Team is delighted that Maple has achieved the Bronze Award, a great first step on our journey towards more sustainable living.
Eco Heroes – the latest members to join the team are our pupil representatives. There are two children from each Yr2 class and they chose Eco Heroes as their team title. The Eco Heroes have already put together a fantastic action plan with Ms Bober which you’ll see us getting to grips with in the coming months. We’re looking forward to the Eco Heroes taking the lead for the rest of the school as they introduce some eco topics in assembly next term.
Adopted Animals – each class has now received its info pack and soft toy for their WWF adopted animal with the funds raised from the Maple Mini Market. This has already sparked great creativity and discussion in class, including inspiring Silver Birch’s “Ocean’s Got Talent” class assembly.
Eco notice board – you can read more about the initiatives underway at Maple in support of our Eco-Schools Bronze Award on the Eco Notice Board opposite the school office.
Growing into spring – children across the school have been getting to grips with growing as we’ve been planting vegetable seeds and exploring the conditions plants need to thrive. We look forward to a bumper crop in the summer term. If you have green fingers and can support your class with help planting or donating seedlings do let your class teacher know.
Waste – our composting scheme for peel and cores at snack time is going well and children are really getting the hang of separating their waste. This term we are talking to the lunchtime supervisors about the feasibility of separating compostable waste at lunch time.

Below are the school meals menu and order form for the second half of the Spring Term.
Meal orders for the first week back after the Easter break, should be returned by 9am on Wednesday 6th April 2011.
Please ensure that you keep a copy of your order, for your own reference. We have had an increased number of parents who, on days that they have not ordered a meal for their child, have failed to send in a packed lunch from home. Although we will always do whatever we can to ensure all children have a meal, we cannot guarantee that a ‘spare’ meal will be available.
Thank you.
