Pope Francis has written a letter addressed to every person on the planet, asking us all to protect the earth. Will you play your part to protect our common home?
- pollution
- climate change
- water
- loss of biodiversity
- decline in the quality of human life.
In his letter Pope Francis implores us to work together to create a better world for future generations and asks us to make the necessary changes in our lives in order to take care of, respect and value our ‘common home’.
In this week’s Picture News we have been thinking about plastic and its impact on our beautiful world. Each class has looked at the amount of plastic we use everyday and thought hard about how we can reduce, reuse and recycle.
Have you noticed our new pen recycling boxes?
Year 1 & 2 noticed we use a lot of plastic pens in school and thought that might be a problem for our beautiful world! After some research they discovered that you can recycle plastic pens in Stocksbridge.
Remember when your pen is no longer working don’t put it in the rubbish bin use the pen recycle box.

Local Wildlife: Creation and Environment Genesis 1: God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.
We have been thinking about how we can be good stewards of Gods beautiful world. It is getting very hot at the moment and we have been worried about the impact the high temperatures may have on the wildlife around St Ann’s. Year 2 decided to create bio-degradable bird feeders to ensure birds will have something tasty to eat during the hot days.
