This week was all about recycling. This is a huge favourite for our EcoKids as this is what we are all about. Looking after our world is so important. We spoke about what it means to recycle. This isn’t an easy concept for our Hoppers to understand but we are sure they got the just of it by the end of the week. I couldn’t be prouder of the Happy Hoppers, in every ring discussion everyone had something to add about saving the world and throwing away rubbish! They understand the importance of recycling and really enjoy making things to reuse.   

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! It’s easy to do!  

 We spoke about the three R’s  

Reduce – cutting back on the amount of rubbish we make.  

Reuse – Finding a new way to use rubbish so we don’t have to throw it away.  

Recycle – Making something new out of rubbish.  

We sang lots of recycling songs and they definitely know the words REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. 

We also practiced counting the number of recycled items in the bin and creating a simple graph. The children are really grasping the concept of more and less, and their number recognition is coming along beautifully. 

Our art activity was a huge hit we used cereal boxes to make a shape person. I pre-cut the shapes for the Hoppers, and they pasted it onto their paper. We had so much fun completing this activity. 

Teacher C, Portia and Thandeka took the Hoppers on a lovely nature walk to collect all sorts of sticks and pinecones but mostly to check if our school is clean and pick up paper. We also went to look at our lovely recycling station. 

This has been such a busy week with our concert practise happening and finalizing assessments.
