Welcome to Term 3

Welcome back to school everyone. I hope that you all had an enjoyable and relaxing break. We have a very busy term ahead of us but also very exciting as it is time for the Junior school to shine on stage in their production - Footprints Through Storyland.
This term our topic is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. We are going to look closely at the environmental footprint we leave on Earth and how we can make a smaller one. We started the topic by burying 3 types of rubbish in the ground - plastic waste, paper waste and fruit/bread scraps. At the end of the term we are going to uncover the rubbish and see what has happened. Here are some photos and predictions that the children have made.

I think that the plastic waste will stay in the ground. - Jinhee
I think that the plastic waste will be eaten by the earth. - Jamie K
I think that the paper waste will rot. - Isabella M
I think that the paper waste will rot and get eaten by the worms. - Bella L
I think that half of the plastic waste will be there and half will not. - Jamie S
I think that the fruit/bread scraps will be eaten by the earth. - Isaac
I think that the fruit/bread scraps will get turned into compost. - Evie

It will be really interesting to see what has happened by the end of the term.
