Grouping and sorting rubbish.

Year 2 have been wondering about the challenge of sustainability. We have read and discussed the slogan Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and have looked at all the different ways of grouping rubbish.In particular, the recycling codes seen on many plastic or glass objects.

These are some thoughts from Room 4.
1. We classify things as rubbish only when we decide that they are no longer useful to us.
2. Trash isn't always garbage as often objects can be reused or recycled. Today we read a book about Frank who wanted a brother so he decided to make one out of a big pile of trash. He called his new brother Stan. He was a valuable member of Frank's family.
3. Keeping our environment healthy is very important so we must try and be as sustainable as possible
