Wastebusters - Recycling and Reusing

Room 6 has been busy collecting old tin cans this term, ready for when Wastebusters came to teach us about recycling and reusing. Finally in Week 9 (the last week of term) we got to have our lessons.

The first lesson was all about what we can recycle at home - glass, cans, plastic, cardboard, paper... basically most things we use in everyday life!!

Miss Brown was amazed to find out that plastic is made from oil... like oil you put in your car... she was shocked! We also learnt that glass needs to be recycled into it's different colours (clear, green and brown) because they melt it down and then make new glass bottles out of it.


Our second lesson was reusing the cans we had collected throughout the term to make a pencil tin for us to take home, keep at school or give to someone as a present. Have a look at our photos, we have made some pretty cool pencil tins!






Here is the final product... what do you think? Would you even know they were made of cans!?
