Reflection – Assembly this week

This week, our assembly focussed on part for our Motto – Caring for the Environment. We talked to the children about food and how it gets from where it is grown to the shops and then eventually into our homes. We talked about the environmental impact of that and also the environmental impact of food wastage. The children were really interested in the subject matter and were surprised to know that 1/3 of all food grown is wasted. We discussed ways that we could not waste food and the children had some super ideas such as: composting any wasted fruit and veg, only taking what you are going to eat and shopping with meals in mind so food is not wasted at home
