Recycling

Throughout the month of December we put a call out to the school community to donate burnt out Christmas light bulbs and old Christmas cards. The response was overwhelming and those bulbs and cards that were once destined the garbage turned into beautiful Christmas decorations. We held an after school craft workshop where we transformed the bulbs into Christmas tree decorations by covering them in glitter and ribbon. The cards we turned into Christmas tags.

kindergarden, grade 1 and grade 2 students have turned Christmas wrapping paper into musik instruments. They have used the inside roll that was left from wrapping paper and used it to make rainstick. They used silk paper leftovers to decorate their instruments!

Grades 1A and 1B created abstract art by using recycled boxes to roll painted marbles around on and toilet paper roll stamps.

In class 7A we are very paper conscious. We use Edmodo for many assignments, so no printing.

With our reading buddies we recycled old business cards and some recycled ribbon into beautiful tree ornaments. Class 2D and 6C.
