Watching Our Waste

Ready to learn about rubbish!

It's all go in Room 15! Back from camp and back on the bus to visit the CCC Metro Plant in Bromley as part of our Sustainability unit. In the classroom we have been looking into processes that help us to minimise the amount of rubbish we are producing. The programme that we had was focused on the Organics Processing Plant and gave us an inside look at the process that is involved in treating organic waste. The programme made the children want to investigate and establish their own 'waste free' environment and we all had a lovely afternoon and learned a lot! 

Think about what you do with your rubbish and try to reduce it as much as you can. We need to look after our beautiful planet!

Chris taught about the 5 R's of waste disposal

Look how much extra plastic there is in the mini chip bags!

Chris loves his compost

Hands on learning

Lovely warm compost in the making

Chris shows us the worm farms

Tiger worms - why do you think they are called this?

What a great way to dispose of our organic waste

Lunchtime!

Chris is pointing out where all the Red Bin waste goes

Lots of plastic going to the landfill

How would you reuse this rubbish? You'd be amazed at the ideas Room 15 children had.

Lukah is thinking hard about some other uses.

Someone else could be wearing these!

Chris was impressed with our new ideas about recycling and reusing
