Recycling.. Paper Recycling

A few weeks ago we made an experiment to try to degrade the paper. We got heaps of paper from our classrooms paper bins and we put some water in the black bins. We ripped up the paper and put into the bin with the water and left it for a week. Then we tipped it out onto the compost.

Mr Andrews pointed out that the paper would dry and blow away so we now have it covered in compost.

Today, Lewis, Morgan and Caleb went round all the classrooms to see if they had a red, white and green bin. Red is non recylable, green is food, and black or white bins are for paper.

Next term we are going to teach each class what to do with their bins.

We have now been recyling our paper for one term. We go around the junior classes and collect all their white bins. One person waits at the compost bin for the seniors to bring their white bins. People are not ripping up the paper so we can't do our job properly. To solve this we have made a booklet. When we tip thier bins into the black bin we check they have ripped up the paper and there is no rubbish in their bin. The class with the most points every two weeks gets 15 minutes extra playtime. We announce this at assembly.
