As part of our inquiry we are learning about ways that we can reduce the amount of waste we send to the landfill.
Room 14 went along with Room 13 to the Omarunui Landfill.
At the landfill we learnt about all the ways they are reusing what comes out of the landfill like the gas that comes up from the buried rubbish. This is made into power to power houses in Hastings.
Room 14 learnt a lot and were blown inside out with all the wind. We couldn't believe that the hill that we were standing on was the old landfill full with rubbish!
When the landfill is full the council will graze sheep on the site.
Our next step in our inquiry has been to research was of upcycling old products instead of sending them to the landfill.
First we had to research what we could make:
Then in literacy this week we wrote instructions to make our products:
We will type up our instructions and make a book of upcycled items that our class produces.
Next week we are collecting what we need to build our projects. Watch this space!
