Reduce, Reuse, Recycle....

Welcome back to our new half term!
This week, we had a visit from Alex from Recycle Devon team, she visited our class on Wednesday afternoon. 
We told Alex all about our learning from last term about material types and there properties. We played a game of guess the object. Children were chosen to describe objects from a bag using words like bendy, opaque, transparent, hard, soft, bumpy etc. The rest of the class had to guess the material.
We then discussed our bins at home. We learnt that black bags no longer go to a dump to be buried but are now sent to The Energy from waste plant to produce electricity.
Year 1 then discussed recycling bins and what materials go in which bin/bag. 
The children made there own posters to remind them where materials go. These have magnets on the back so can be stuck on fridges to be a reminder for the children.
