Environmental Education through the ages


The younger primary students began their day by singing a song they learned last year. Having broken the ice they settled into watching "Is it Really Rubbish?" a documentary made by Grade Five students about what rubbish is and how it can be used.
Following that they watched an animated cartoon made by Grade Six Students about the adventures of a dolphin who helps re-educate people about pollution.
This was followed by some energetic rubbish sorting games that were met with enthusiasm and total invovlement.
It is important to know what rubbish is before you can start working out what to do with it. For this age group the simple definition of rubbish can be so much more useful when you really get to understand it.
