Reduce, Re-use and Recycle

Our theme this term is taking care of our environment - inside and outside.  We are focusing on four areas in our class that together we can improve.

Room 9 children identified that the food scrap bin was one area that we needed to work on.
We are trying really hard to put only food scraps in the bucket.

We wrote about ways to reduce the rubbish in our classroom.
Together we brainstormed a list of things that we could do to make a difference.
Keira shared her 'rubbish free' lunch box with the class.  All of her lunch was packed into little containers that could be re-used and also a plastic bag which she put back in her lunch box for the next day.

Another area that we think we can improve on is our discovery resources and storing them nicely.  We bring boxes, lids, cardboard, wool, to be re-used in this time.  Together we are working on keeping this tidy so that our classroom looks neat and we still have these great resources to keep using at discovery time.
