Today we went to Stoneyburn for our last transition for this session.

We continued to look at waste minimisation. We started by watching some clips from Newsround that showed us that flytipping is on the rise. We discussed why we thought people dumped their waste and what affects it has on the environment.

We then went out into the school grounds to see how much waste there was. There was a lot of litter around the woodlands. We couldn’t believe that we found bricks, wooden slats and even glass bottles that people had dumped there.

In the afternoon we formed teams and had to design a poster or PowerPoint to persuade people not to dump their waste but to use bins or recycle ♻ them.

We had a fantastic time and hope we get to join up with the primary 4s from stoneyburn again soon.
