This term our class have been inquiring into the types of litter and times that litter is found around our school grounds.

So far, we have collected data and made observations that indicate there is a lot more litter in our playground in the afternoons and nearly double the amount of rubbish around on canteen days.

We are wondering if there is anything we can put in place to encourage students in our school to think smarter about their litter. This week we will undertake a waste audit of classroom and outdoor bins to see if there are further ways we can lessen the litter in our school and help our unique learning environment in the process. Already there are some great ideas and incentives being discussed in the classroom and we’re excited to present what we learn to the school in the coming weeks.
