Gillmoss Recycling Centre, by Miss Hughes

Date: 20th May 2016 @ 3:45pm

We had a super day at Gillmoss Recycling Centre today! We learnt lots about recycling and how the centre works. Did you know that every year, one household produces the equivalent of 3 polar bears worth of rubbish? (In weight) ... AND most of that can be recycled. We are going home to tell our families about how we can be more green and eco friendly. 

Thank you to Kirsty at Gillmoss who was a super teacher, taught us loads and made us laugh lots!

Today, we have had a fun filled morning of Queen Elizabeth || inspired activities including: creating a mosaic, a treasure hunt, creating crowns, biscuit making, using Morpho app on the iPads to create Queen's speeches, coin making, plus lots more!
