Toasted Sandwiches

For the past week we have been writing instructions on how to make our favourite toasted sandwich.
On Wednesday we gave our Learning Partners our recipes to read and follow.  Here's what our toasted sandwiches looked like...

Paint down our drain

Our classroom sink

_{Our classroom sink}

_{We were cleaning our paint trays and paint brushes in our classroom sink.  Paint was going down our drains and to the Waste-water Treatment Plant. Barry, our guide at the Waste-water Treatment Plant, told us that removing paint from waste-water is expensive and uses a lot of energy. Barry also told us it is better to send paint waste to the landfill rather than putting it down the drain
Mrs Griffin told us that she and lots of other teachers do this.  They have been doing it for many years.
This is not good, we need to do something about this!}

_{The Problem:
How can we lessen the amount of paint going down our drains?}

_{Groups researched different ideas and then decided on the best solution to this problem.} 

_{We made advertising videos to persuade teachers and students to change their ways.}

Water Cycle Displays

We created display boards to show what we learnt about the water cycle.

Waste water

Do you know where our water that goes down the drain goes?

We visited the Taupo Waste Water Treatment Plant to find out.  We were amazed at what goes down the drain!!!

Do they really need this sign???

Yes...it was very smelly!

Green and Keen Class Treat

On Friday the class decided what our class treat would be.  To my surprise they wanted to spend their Friday afternoon picking up rubbish in to park near our school! Our kids are AWESOME!!!
