Ahead of ‘Going Green for CAFOD’, Year 6 visited our local Crow Recycling Centre to learn about what happens to our recycled goods and the importance of re-using as well as recycling where possible.
We volunteered our time to sort through the paper, card and magazines ready to recycle.
We shredded the confidential paper ready to be made into bails to be re-used for things such as bedding for animals. We even took some back to school for our guinea pigs!
We also used our knowledge of steel and aluminum to sort the metal cans and tins into separate groups ready to be crushed. We got to watch the crushing in action as they were made into ‘biscuits’ that weighed more than you think!
