This week the ES have been celebrating Earth Day.
We have been discussing how we can keep our planet clean and how we can all recycle. The children visited our recycling bins at school and have sorted out some classroom trash (rubbish) to put in the bins. We found that there were bins for paper, plastic, cans and cardboard. We found that there were ants in the cans bin. The children suggested that cans need to be washed before we put them in. A great idea!
We also looked for ways in which we can recycle in the classroom - the children came up with using both sides of the paper and using cardboard boxes for storage of pencils and markers.
During the next few days, we will talk about the use of electricity and the need to conserve it. On Friday we will have Free Dress Day... the children will come to school in Earth colours (green, brown and blue).
