The Eco-team focused on our Waste topic in the Autumn Term. We kicked off with an exciting visit to the MERF (Mansfield Recovery Facility). We took parents and a Governor with us. We learned so much about what happens to our waste. We passed on what we learned to all the children at school. We sent leaflets home to help to educate our grown-ups.
Paper recycling
Our recycling team was chosen to recycle all the schools paper every week.
Waste Management Day
In March Lydia Powles came into school to teach us all about waste management. She taught us lots of ways we could reduce, reuse and recycle in an assembly.
Lydia then ran a recycling paper workshop with each year group. She asked the children to consider the environmental impacts of using paper and find out the benefits of recycling it. The whole school then made their own recycled paper.
