 This week students have looked at what their family is already doing to avoid plastic and decided what else they could do. If you start something new to avoid plastic pop a photo up on our FB page, we’d love to see what you're doing.
TERM 3 will be our NUDE FOOD term. There’ll be lots of prizes for bringing Nude Food everyday!

 Thanks for collecting, cleaning and bringing in your Lids For Kids and Bread Tags. LGB did a great job sorting them. They are now ready to go to LIDS FOR KIDS to be recycled into plastic products and the money goes to make prosthetic limbs for needy children. Mt Gambier company Ecoplas buys the lids and uses the lids to make plastic droppers and plastic wood for benches and bollards. https://www.ecoplasaustralia.com.au/
Keep collecting and sorting in Term 3!  Plastic Free July starts in Term 2 holidays this year so we are discussing in class what we can do at home in the holidays to make our lives more Plastic Free. LGA students are discussing what their families are already doing at home. Here's some of the things our families are already doing to be Plastic Free.
Next week we will make a Plastic Free July Pledge so families can think about what they will start doing in Plastic Free July, and keep doing in the future. An important part of the ResourceSmart program is to embed Sustainability knowledge, skills and understandings in all areas of the curriculum. This term, Sustainability is the focus of the Inquiry unit and ART activities. LGA are focussing on Waste and Worms and LGB and LGA are focussing on Endangered Species including local plants and animals. In Art students have researched, drawn and created prints of an Endangered animal they think we need to be aware of. Here’s some of the brilliant work they printed this week.  LGA made their Worm Farm last week and now we are conducting an experiment linking with their Sustainability Inquiry Unit to see what food waste worms love to eat and what happens to plastic waste when it is buried. Will the worms eat the plastic? Most students think they won’t eat it and it won’t break down at all. We shall see and let you know what happens. Look at what has happened so far.   |
