On Wednesday we went to Eco sort. If you don't know what it is, it is a place where
recycling goes and gets separated into different piles to be then made into new things.

We went on the trip in two groups the first group in the morning, and then the second group after lunch.At the trip you learn all different things like how you can reuse, reduce and recycle and
use different stuff again and turn it into new things.
use different stuff again and turn it into new things.
We had this leader called Chris we did lots of activities with him. He had a yellow wheelie top bin
which had all different types recycling in it. Then each of us had a card that had a different type
of recycling on it. I had mix grade paper but there were other ones like plastic number 2 which was
milk bottles and then other stuff like that. Then he dumped out the wheelie bin with all this clean
recycling in it, and then when he called out a certain type of recycling you had to run up and empty
as much as you could from the pile.

to buy stuff for Pretend flats if we were going out flatting.
We were each given a form that we had to fill out and write what stuff we would buy for our Flats.
When we got back to school we were put into groups to do an enquiry of how we think the trip went.
We had to do some activities, there were activities where we had to reflect on how we think the day went
at the eco trip and how much we enjoyed it. Then we had to do a reflection on how we think the
group went and work together as a group. We had to do fill in a sheet which had columns and in the first
column is positives, the second column had minuses and the third column was Improvements.

So in the first column,n we put positives that were within the group and how we work together.
In the second column,n we put how we think the group didn't work very well together and what the
negatives were about the group, in the third column we put how we think we can improve this minuses
and make the group better.
In the second column,n we put how we think the group didn't work very well together and what the

and make the group better.
Overall I think the group works quite well together and I also think that you could trip was really fun.
Here are some of the work that we did about the Eco trip and how I think the Eco trip went.
Hey Grace!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! What was your favorite part? I think that going to the Eco store would have been mine. I always have so much fun whenever I go there, and you always find the most random things. Did you find anything you would buy?
Great job!
