National Recycling Week 2023

Class 1 had a great time with Alex (from Devon Waste) who came in to talk all about plastic pollution. We all became ‘Plastic Pirates’ and our aim was to learn more about what we can do to stop plastic pollution. The children loved going on an adventure (within the playground) to visit different animals who were affected by plastic! They also made their own medallions! Aarrrr!

 

The children in Class 2 spent a fun afternoon learning about our rubbish. They began by sorting rubbish in order to decide from where it originates. It was surprising finding out where our foil comes from! We knew that paper comes from trees and found out how trees could save us from global warming and climate change and yet we are cutting them down. We found out how plastic is created and discussed why recycling is so important.

We then played a game in which we had to decide which recycled materials were made from.
