Hello everyone! It’s Mrs Thompstone here and I would like to tell you about Earth Day 2021. This is a worldwide event where we come together to celebrate our wonderful Earth, and today, Thursday, 22nd April 2021, is Earth Day. Every year there is a particular theme, this year the theme is ‘Restore Our Earth’.
Our Earth is precious and it is important to make sure we look after it. Here are two video clips explaining the history of Earth Day.
I would like you all to take part in an activity based on Earth Day. Below you will find a range of different activities for you to choose from, or you may wish to come up with your own activity idea. You can take part on your own or with a family member, you will be able to share your ideas and plans, as well as develop your understanding and learning of Earth Day.
Once you have completed your activity, please take a picture and either send it to your class teacher through your class email, class dojo, or please email them direct to me at Lawley@holytrinitycepa.co.uk. The deadline for our activities is Thursday, 28th April, and everyone who enters will receive a prize!
Please do have fun, be creative and resourceful, develop your understanding of our wonderful world, and get your family members involved. Remember to stay safe and please do ask permission from a grown up before using any resources.
Build a Bug Hotel
Build a hotel made from natural resources that any creepy, crawling insect would love to call home! The image below give you some ideas- they’re a little bigger than you may create but it gives you an idea of what you can use to make it. 
Make a Bird Feeder
Create, build or decorate your own bird feeder that robins, blue tits, wrens or any number of garden birds would love to feast from! You could use natural resources or materials you have at home. You may want to make a single feeder or a bird feeding station!
Create a Nature Garden
Dedicate a small section of your garden to nature and the animals that visit it! Add a small area of water for bees or birds to drink from, add natural materials insects can call home or even add a box for a hedgehog.
Decorate a Bird Box
Create a lovely home for a family of birds by decorating a bird box. You may choose to build your own bird box to decorate or decorate one that is bought.
Create a Eco Poster
Pick an Eco topic that you are passionate about and create an eye-catching poster that informs people on your topic of choice. This could be using less electricity, recycling more, reducing the amount of plastic used, reducing greenhouse gas emissions or reducing deforestation for example. Whatever topic you pick, make sure your poster is really eye catching and gets your message across. You could do this on paper, card, on the computer or in any inventive way your like!

Let us prayer together to celebrate our wonderful Earth.
Dear God,
Help us to care for and love our Earth, and all of creation you have blessed us with.
Amen
Good luck everyone, I cannot wait to see the activities you have completed.
Every Wednesday in class, the children will take part in a collective worship which will be teacher led. We will be posting the PowerPoint for you to join in at home if you wish.
The Christian values for this half term are: Faith and Belief. Each week the teacher led collective worship will focus on the Christian Values, with a story from the bible and a link to the wider world. We encourage all children to take part in the discussions and come together to sing, listen to stories from the bible, pray and reflect.
The first collective worship is by Miss Hutson which has a focus on Genesis 1-2- Creation and the faith and belief that God put in humans to care for the world he created. This also links in with Earth day on the 22nd April 2021.
Please see powerpoint below for the collective worship.
See below for the creation story Genesis 1-2
Please join in the action song – I’m part of Gods creation:
I have also provided on the powerpoint a beautiful video linked to Psalm 104 – our wonderful world:
