THE UPCYCLERS

Students in Grades 3 and 4 have been having a great time turning trash into treasure 

in the new Upcyclers ECA this year! 

The Upcyclers

Using only recycled materials, such as old food cans, atlases and dictionaries, 

they have been busy making useful gifts for the school community:

Making a pencil pot from a food can.

Making handy stationery boxes.

Making classroom display banners.

Making useful notebooks from old atlas paper.

      

"I like being in Upcyclers because we get to do lots of crafts and reuse things so it's good for the environment." Savya, Grade 3.

It's great to see our students learn to reuse and upcycle waste items, thanks to Mrs Ferreira and Mrs Brogden for organising such an inspirational activity! 

   

K2: IS IT REALLY RUBBISH?

K2 students investigate rubbish in their latest unit.

Students in K2 have been finding out what happens to the rubbish they put in the bin and asking themselves if it really is rubbish. 

 

In their Unit of Study they have been busy picking up litter and sorting different types of rubbish for recycling. Miss Willis came to speak to the K2 classes and reminded them about the 4 Rs:

She explained what happens to our waste in Singapore and talked about how the recycling centres work. 

 

One student was so motivated that he reorganised his family recycling bags at home! Well done, Freddie! 

It's great to see such responsible attitudes in caring for our environment in some of our youngest students. Keep up the good work!
