We have been using the story of Michael Recycle, written by Ellie Bethel to develop our knowledge of reducing, reusing and recycling within play experiences, both indoors and outdoors.
The children are taking their responsibility of ensuring the milk cartons are emptied and washed prior going into the recycling bin.
We used the large floor space at the creative area to sort and categorise the junk.
A skittle challenge was created by designing recycled bottles and a ball made of newspaper.
Inspired by a range of stimuli, the children have been naming, sorting and matching shapes. This has led them to be creative within their play.
Following on from our very successful Shotts Learning Community Transition event in December 2014, we are now able to share your evaluations. Transition Questionnaire Responses
