The preschool on the corner of the street I live in is very good at letting the community know what they are celebrating. The signboard is changed regularly to let you know what they think is important and children's work displayed. This week they tell us it is National Recycling Week.
This week aims to encourage Australians to better recycle. Planet Ark started the campaign in 1996. This year’s theme is ‘What Goes Around Comes Around’.
The focus is on giving resources a second life, consuming less, reducing the need for new resources, and of course, recycling!
The students at our school are very well informed when it comes to recycling and the library has a myriad of resources to assist with this. See here.
Two new books in the library that are just perfect for under eights and which exemplify this year's theme are:
• Rubbish! Don't Throw It Away by Linda Newbery and Katie Rewse.
From pine cones on the grass to old coat- hangers in the cupboard, from empty cardboard boxes to unwanted curtains, used wrapping paper, yogurt pots, odd socks, sinks and fallen leaves What can we do with all this stuff that nobody wants?
The Dragonflies nursery know exactly what to do. They are full of creative ideas and love to think up ways in which old things can be made new and useful again. And it’s all free!
• Ruby's Repair Cafe by Michelle Worthington and Zoe Bennett
