What can we do?

Sam shows us what's in his tray.

We are amazed at how much paper was going to be thrown in the bin!

We sort the paper into the 'Recycle' and 'Scrap Paper' boxes.

David and Albie sort out the last of the paper - good job!



After we saw how much rubbish our school produces every day we wanted to do something about it. We had a look at how much paper our class throws out. First we emptied out our trays of ALL unwanted paper onto the floor. We sorted this into different piles – RECYCLE and REUSE. Paper we could draw on the back of or use again was put into our ‘Scrap Paper box’, everything else was put into our Recycling box. Did you know that any paper can be recycled if it has no plastic or metal in it?

Our trays are a lot tidier now and we have lots of scrap paper to draw on and make things out of. When we have finished with this paper, we will smooth it out and put in the Recycling box. See if you can do the same!
