Year 5 classes are taking part a 6-week project called 'Future Food Heroes', exploring zero-waste food and a circular economy. They are being introduced to Farm Urban's work and research in aquaponic and hydroponic food.
They have been split into teams to develop their skills and ideas to present their own future food solutions.
In the sessions, they are learning about how food grows and experimenting with their aquaponics systems, wormeries and mushroom kits.
They have built an aquaponics system and are learning how to grow fish and plants together.
The children are growing mushrooms using spent coffee grounds and cardboard.
They are discovering how worms turn food waste into food for plants.
We wore pairs of odd socks to celebrate our uniqueness for Anti Bullying Week. In assembly we watched the Anti-Bullying Week video. We're encouraged to 'Reach Out' to trusted adults & check-in with friends to recognise & stop bullying . Click on the image to view and download a toolkit for parents and carers.
From Friday 14th October to Sunday 6th November, Liverpool welcomes the 8.1km scale model walking trail of the Solar System. Begin at the Sun on Church Street, make your way along the city’s iconic waterfront and Trans Pennine Trail before finishing in Otterspool where Pluto awaits.
In the Spring term, Year 5 study the Solar System. Visiting even a part of this will really help them to understand the sizes of the Sun and planets and the distances between them.
