Blackthorn Kindy Kids Go Green

Blackthorn Kindy Kids are getting involved in the environment and ‘going green’ this year.

The environmentally conscious have begun their project by talking and learning about recycling and now there are buckets on the table at meal times to put our plastic rubbish in. The plastics are removed and recycling materials are sorted. The yoghurt containers are washed and used for painting and craft activities and the rest are left in the special recycling bin. The children have also made a big recycling box for the cardboard and paper recyclables.

The next step is to plant and grow vegetables, fruits and flowers. There will be plenty of gardening action in the next couple of weeks.
