Zero Waste at Worser Bay School

Keep calm and recycle on!

In Autahi this week, we were bin-credibly lucky to have Lorraine, the Waste Educator / Kaiako Para Kore from Wellington City Council come in to teach us about rubbish, recycling, composting and more!

Here we explored the can-tastic world of recycling! We sorted recyclable materials into four piles - metals, cardboards, soft plastics and hard plastics. We were pretty shocked to hear that any materials that can't be recycled end up in the land fill!

Then, we were so fortunate to meet Lorraine's eco-mazing pet worms! Did you know that worms have FIVE hearts? Well Autahi sure did! We loved getting to peek at Lorraine's pet worms and their completely home-made soil. It really inspired us for our own composting here at Worser Bay School!

Have a chat with your child at home about what house-hold objects can be recycled or composted!
