On a Mission to Recycle!

Our Eco-committee have been on a mission this week to look for further ways of recycling at Ffynnon Taf Primary.  They decided to target their attention to the waste produced during lunch times.  They weighed the amount of rubbish produced after just one lunch time which was a shocking 3.4 kg! Following this they sorted the waste into groups based on their recyclable properties.  Now, they have fed back to the rest of the school and have placed a recycling bin in the school hall in an attempt to recycle  more plastic and cardboard!

Mini beast Mansion

During our after school teacher club this term the children have been extremely busy.  They have been making a 'Minibeast Mansion' in an attempt to attract more mini beasts into our school gardens which obviously has a vast amount of benefits for these mini beasts.  However, at the same time it will provide an excellent stimulus when learning about animals and their habitats.  All the children (and teachers), despite getting extremely dirty and wet,  have been enthusiastically being gathering resources to fill the mansion! Da iawn to all involved and to Mrs Bailey for coming up with the wonderful idea!

Rag Bag Day

On Friday 28th January we are having a 'Rag Bag Day'. As you know we are taking part in the 'Rag Bag' Campaign which encourages the recycling of any clothing, textiles, shoes, handbags and accessories so why not bring your black bags of clothes etc into school on this day. Not only are you encouraging your child to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle but you are also fundraising for the school.  Bags of clothes means bags of cash.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!!!!!!
