Finding Out About Recycling

On Wednesday our class went to CERES and Nick showed us how we could recycle food scraps, rubbish and paper to make new things. We discovered which types of rubbish could go in to the recycle bin and compost bin. Did you know that not all plastic can be recycled? We had fun holding worms and finding out that the baby worms are in a sac which is under the worm's saddle. Nick also told us that worms keep our soil healthy. Have you ever gone on a minibeast hunt in your garden? What did you find? Just before lunch we went for a walk along Merri Creek and Nick showed us the spot where the rubbish from the streets and gutters gets caught beore it goes in to the creek. This rubbish is collected every month. At the end of our day we had fun creating our own paper! I wonder what we could use this for? Here are some of our recounts about our excursion.
