Zerowaste

Over the last week, we have been learning about rubbish! We have had a special teacher, Mrs Goodall, and she has made us think about how much rubbish we make and how we change reduce that. We have learnt about recycling and reusing things to cut down on what we put in the rubbish bin.
Here are some photos of us working:

Do you know what 'sensible shopping' is? We can tell you! It is when you choose BETTER things to buy - like a big container of yoghurt instead of lots of little ones. You can put your yoghurt in a reusable container that can be washed instead of a plastic one that goes in the rubbish.

Here are some sensible shopping choices.

 

Do you make compost at home? We learnt about carbon (dry or brown plant material like old leaves or newspaper) and nitrogen (wet or green plant material like vege peelings and lawn clippings) and how you have to put them in layers to make really good compost!

There are some things that just can't go in the compost. The girls have put these on the side of the chart.
