Food for Thought

Look at the results from the packed lunch waste audit that we undertook this afternoon.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

This morning Alex from Devon Recycling came to talk about RRR. We found out that glass was made out of sand and this is non renewable. Paper is made from trees [wood,forest]but is also reducing animal habitats is letting out oxogen thats bad for the humans llke us. We also learnt playground sufarce and pencil cases are made out of car tyres. Rulers are made from computers. Rucksacks are made from plastic bottles. But how can plastic bottles be recycled into rucksacks? Disposable nappies can be used into roof tiles. A trowel is made out of drink cans. A clipboard is made out of drink cartons. Insulation is made out of kitchen towels. The toxic from the land full is going into the rivers that go into the seas and kills most fish. To help our environment we could start using more things again, to make sculptures or new toys. Reduce Reuse and Recycle helps us to stop damaging the earth and wildlife. the oil that we get comes from the sea under the sufarce and if the oil leakes it kills nearly all animals and it can travel thoyusands of miles into the sea.

Reduce reuse recycle helps us to stop damaging the earth.
I learnt that people put lots of rubbish in the sea and then the sea animals eat it and they die. When people put there rubbish in the brown bin the rubbish goes to the dump and its bad because it gives the dump a horibble smell. Theres a rock that blows up. Trees are cut down and made out of chairs and lots of wooden things. It is bad because it is the animals habitats. Instead of putting our rubbish at the dump we could reuse it. I learn't that some adults call the dump landfill. There is somthing that stops the heat doing out the roof and that is called insulation . There is something called a play ground surface that goes under swings and stuff in parks to help you from herting your self. Trees can make seeds to grow flowers and more trees.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

We thought that today's work was very interesting and extremely fun!
Our favourite part was when we had a race to see who could be the fastest to sort out the natural resources and looking at all of the different materials that are wasted every day. Did you know that the place where all your rubbish goes is called a landfill! Also did you know that some roof tiles are made of disposable nappies and that the horrible gas that produces a really bad smell is called methane and it can affect the environment, causing Global warming and Climate Change. Oil spillages can effect animals such as turtles and dolphins and lots of other sea creatures because it blocks their airways and then they might die!
Please help us reduce, reuse and recycle to save the WORLD!

REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE

Today we learnt how to REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE it helps stop damaging the earth. Oil spillage can affect birds and sea creatures. Oil on the beach can effect as well. Disposable nappies how can these be used to make roof tiles? A clipboard is made from drink cartons it was unbelievable when we found out. A gardening trowel is made from drinks cans we were shocked by that. Ruck sacks believe it or not it is made from plastic. a ruler is made from computers/laptops. play ground surface is made from car tyres. A ladle is also made from plastic.
WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING YOUR RUBBISH ?

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse

This morning Alex from Devon Recycling came in to talk about RRR. Plastics that we have in our houses could be Recycled or Reused. DON'T PUT IT IN A BROWN BIN!
Sand is turned into glass and the glass is really strong for glass because if you hold it about 10cm off the ground and drop it, it won't smash. The bauxite is turned into Aliminium which is a kind of metal. Trees are turned into paper that we use to write on and draw on. Oil is turned into plastic. Dont keep cutting down trees use the paper you have already you are killing habitats respect your environment and others!
We Recycle because if we dont it damages the Earth because the atmosphere of the Earth makes a hole in the atmosphere and the bad gas goes into the air to the sun and makes the sun hotter and kills ice creatures because it melts the ice. Did you know disposible nappies can make roof tiles. These are habitats trees sand oil. Oil is at the bottom of the sea bed

Recycling our Rubbish!

Today we learnt about handling and recycling our rubbish. We did some quiz's and questionnaires about recycling and what we use with our old rubbish! We also sorted the plastic and different materials onto the photographs of natural resources; wood and plastic. Then we looked at different materials and had to guess what they were made of like; play ground surface, pencil case, underlay, Rucksack, trowel, ladle, clipboard. Did you know that roof tiles are actually made of Disposable Nappies! The non renewable Resources that make the thing we have today are, sand which is made to use glass, Oil which makes plastic and Bauxite which makes Aluminium. The Renewable Resources that we used were wood which makes paper but also reduces habitats and Cotton which makes materials like bags. The actual word that is used for a dump/tip is landfill. The Gas that comes from the stinky garbage is called Methane.

The children have continued their work on understanding the effects of rubbish on the environment. Read their posts to discover what they've learnt.
