As
part of the Green Schools both 5th. classes took part in
a 'Green Competition'. Our task involvrd making a gift out
of lots of different recyclable materials. So we used bottle
tops, wine tops, newspaper, string, egg cartons, plastic
bags, buttons, wool, bubble wrap, wrapping paper, tin-foil,
pasta, thread and straws.
Both classes thoroughly enjoyed the project and it really
did reinforce the importance of the benefits of recycling.
