Reducing Waste in schools
We understand that educating children means they will educate their children. We deliver a programme of Workshops to year 6 primary school children (10/11 year olds).
We deliver 4 lessons beginning with Where do things come from (not Amazon!) and where do they go? What could we do instead?
Lessons are delivered in small groups of up to 8.
Lesson 1 - Sharing
What could they borrow for a party/camping/DIY project and how much would they save?
Lesson 2 - Repairing
how to problem-solve. They are the repairer for a blocked vacuum cleaner.
Lesson 3 - Circular
economy and the importance of resources in phones and electronic devices.
Lesson 4 - Learning about LED and rechargeable batteries
by mending broken torches, problem solving and understanding circuits, testing batteries and bulbs
The children finish by creating an assembly for the whole school based on what they have learnt
We are also hoping to introduce an after school Repair Club soon! If you might be interested in hosting or helping please Get in Touch.
