Primary 4 held the Christmas card recycling competition. Each class had to bring in as many cards as they could. We weighed them and these are the results.
In 3rd place was P2/1 with 15kg
In 2nd place was P4 with 16 and half kg
In 1st place was P5Mac with 24 and half kg
The total weight of all the cards collected was 95 and half kg.

Goodness that is a LOT of Christmas cards. Do you know what they use the recycled card for? It is incredible how much of our rubbish can be recycled. Do you know what plastic bottles can be recycled in to?
Wow! What a lot of Christmas cards you collected. Can you think of some everyday things that weigh 95kg? (You can’t say lots of Christmas cards!)
I wonder if you know what they use the cards to make? Do you know what else can be recycled and how it is used?
Here is a challenge for you to find out: Can you find out what can be recycled again and again and again? (I can think of two things- can you think of more?)
I will visit again next week and see what you think 😀
Do your class know about the 10o word challenge? If you visit my classblog at http://www.classash.primaryblogger.co.uk you can see the link on the right hand side under blog roll. It is a great weekly writing challenge set by a retired headteacher.
