Year 2 focused on Recycling in iSteam in Term 1. We learnt about recycling, reusing and reducing and how important it is for our environment.
Several classes looked at their lunchboxes and how much waste they were producing on a typical day. They brainstormed ways they could reduce waste and put solutions into practise. Recyclable and reusable materials were used to make new products.
One class made their own lunchboxes with separate compartments so food didn’t need to be wrapped. Other classes made toys and papier mache pencil holders out of recyclable materials to avoid buying new products and creating more waste. The recycling paper was used in one class to make new paper.
The impact of pollution on animals was also focused on. Overall the pupils learnt about the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling to care for our environment now and in the future.
