Thread Lightly Caravan

The Tread Lightly Caravan is a mobile exhibition/classroom established by the Urban Ecoliving Charitable Trust to inspire Room 7 to live more sustainably.

Using interactive displays, the Caravan shows visitors how everyday choices such as what we buy, how we travel, what we eat, how we use energy in our homes and how we manage waste, can impact the natural environment. The key message to visitors is, 'Your choices have environmental consequences'. 

The key communication messages are:

1. Our actions and choices have an effect on our environment.
2. If we continue to use resources (water, materials, energy) as we do now, we will run out.
3. Small changes in the way we live will help save resources, prevent pollution and protect our plants, animals and their habitats.

The Tread Lightly Caravan teaches students to communicate and champion sustainability to their families and communities in order to educate them and encourage better practice.

Chocolate Chips Cookies

Making Chocolate chip Cookies

Today we made chocolate chip cookies.

First we preheated the oven to 180 degrees .

Then we laied down some baking paper on the oven tray.

Third we poured the cookie mixture in a big bowl.

Afterwards we scooped a third of a cup of butter and

dropped it in the bowl.

First we cracked a giant egg and mixed it all

together with no water or milk.

When it was all gooey and smooth,

Mrs V(our helper) then mixed the mixture

with her hands.

After we just took a lump if the cooking batter

a rolled it into a ball and dropped it onto the oven tray.

Then very carefully Mrs V slid it into the heated oven.

We baked it for about 15-20 minutes then

took it out to look at it.

Each of us quickly took a big bite out of it to see

what it tasted like. It was so delicious.

Some of us thought it tasted a bit like cereal.

The finished product was so good that

everyone in our class loved it.

Let’s be friends

Making new friends can definitely be scary. But, it doesn't have to be! Other children want to make new friends too, just like you.

Be Friendly

Go to class with a smile on your face and try to talk to as many people as possible. 

Introduce Yourself

If you see someone you want to be friends with, make the first move and say hi!
