Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

In Room14 we are learning about how we can reduce, reuse and recycle our waste. We had a look at what kind of waste we had in our bin and what we found was astonishing.

We sorted out our waste into paper, plastic, food and other waste. From the photo above you can see how much waste we were not RECYCLING! So we grabbed our 'Terracycle' bin and Paper bin and this is what it looked like.

After that we remembered that we had a worm farm at school so we further REDUCED our waste till it finally looked like this.

If this is what we can do with one days worth of rubbish we wonder what we can ALL do around the school and at home over a week, a  month or even a whole year. Imagine the waste we can save. Next we  will be looking at how we can REUSE some of our waste.

Tearm 3 week 2

This week on Monday and the week before on Friday Uala was our teacher. Uala was our teacher because Caroline was away in Australia for a family celebration. When Caroline told us we were so excited we couldn 't wait. When Uala was teaching us we had a lot of fun but we missed Caroline. We played lots of games like splat, hoopla and maths splat. Uala read us 2 books that he reads to George his son and he is a baby. Uala brought Cheeko in the class room and some people got to hold him, and Uala told us that Cheeko was 3 years old. Uala is a very fun and really cool teacher to have. We were so happy and excited that Uala came back. That was probably one of the best surpises we could ever have.
