Chuck it in the right bin!

Yesterday Mariko, Lee and Jayah had lots of fun helping Mr Vogt sort out the recycling outside Room 11.  As the recycling bin was pretty full, they had to shift all the paper and other recycling from the little yellow bin and put it in the big yellow bin. They think we are all getting pretty good at chucking our rubbish in the right bin. Ka mau te wehi!

Tread Lightly

Tread Lightly is an awesome organisation that visits Auckland schools to help 8-12 year old children learn more about looking after our planet by making sustainable choices.  Dominique from Tread Lightly visited Pt England yesterday to explain why we need to start recycling soft plastics.  These are the plastics we can scrunch up in our hands, like plastic bags, chip packets and plastic wrap.  Donte and Jermaine stepped into the limelight to help Dominique share her message with everyone in Team 4 yesterday.  They played their roles with so much style and enthusiasm.  It was wonderful to watch.

New recycling bins have just been delivered to Pt England.  Donte and Jermaine have also volunteered to be Room 11's Bincurity monitors to make sure that we chuck our rubbish in the right bin. Ka mau te wehi!

What do we need to do? Chuck it in the right bin!
