What a Rubbish Day!

 Rubbish pick up day has arrived at last - after all our thinking, planning and ideas about how to go about our task.

 We all got into our teams of two children and one parent. Sahara and Nicholas and Mrs Grace were one team, here they are picking up rubbish from their patch.

 We made it to marker number 2 and just look how much rubbish we have!

"This bag is getting heavy, Mrs Grace!" said Sahara.

Back at school we empty all the rubbish onto a big tarp  in the pool and then wait for everyone else to return with their bags.

This pile is getting big!

Oh my goodness! What a lot of rubbish! 

Still more to add to the pile...

and more...

Unbelievable! 

We are astounded at how much rubbish we have collected.

Now we have to sort it into piles, plastics...

paper... 

metals... 

other materials.... 

glass...

 

That was one very big clean up. We could not have done it with out all the wonderful parents and grandparents that came to help us - thank you!!!
