PSHE LESSON Caring for the environment 17/5/22

We talked about what children remember about recycling (which they covered in Year 3). 
Children were able to explain  that recycling is really good for the environment however there are some problems with it because energy has to be used to recycle materials and this also has an impact on the environment. - We though about how we could RE-USE and therefore REDUCE the amount of waste we create. The class had lots of ideas- Here are a few we thought of : 
Books to charity shops
Clothes to charity shops, given away or sold 
Bottles refilled with drinks 
Plastic containers reused for sandwiches etc
The back of photocopied paper could be used for drawing on / rough work 
Used tea bags could be used for composting
​Card board rolls could be used for craft or for planting seeds in
