Meet Wally-Waste-Not! Last Friday, we were delighted to welcome a very special visitor to school – Wally-Waste-Not, our local waste truck and the proud winner of the "Name That Truck" competition! Earlier this year, classes were invited to submit name ideas for the competition. After each class put forward their suggestions, Mrs Perks' Planet Protectors had the important job of voting for their favourite. The winning name, Wally-Waste-Not, was then submitted to the competition and was selected as the overall winner – meaning our school won the competition! To celebrate, the truck was given a brand-new sticker displaying its new name and proudly came to visit us at school to show it off. Throughout the morning, each class had the opportunity to visit Wally-Waste-Not, take part in a tour of the vehicle, learn how it works, and discover more about the important role it plays in keeping our community clean. The children were fascinated to see the truck up close and enjoyed asking lots of thoughtful questions about waste collection, recycling and environmental responsibility. A huge thank you to the waste management team for bringing Wally-Waste-Not to school and for taking the time to share their knowledge with us. We are incredibly proud to have named the truck and loved seeing our winning entry come to life!
Year 6 had a fabulous last week at school, topped off with, in their words, 'The best day ever!'
