Grade 3-4 has been investigating the impact and uses for our waste. We have made posters to raise awareness of the issues waste and particularly plastic waste causes to share with everyone. 

As part of our learning on Friday last week we conducted an audit of our class waste. This built upon what we had learned on our Sustainability Studies excursion with the Environment Centre a week before. We did this to see what we throw away each week and if there were any particular items that we might be able to limit our use of to reduce our environmental impact. The biggest offender was one-use plastic bags and packets, 145 of them by lunchtime on Friday!

3-4 has now declared war on plastic packets at Molesworth Primary and are working on posters to share ideas with the rest of the school for how we can all limit their use and suggest alternatives that are more environmentally friendly, more cost effective and/or better for us. Keep an eye out for more posters and please have a look at the ones we have made so far.
