From Monday 14th October to Friday 18th October, St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School celebrated Recycle Week. This year’s theme was ‘Rescue Me’.
The school’s eco warriors kicked off the week by leading a whole school assembly on the three Rs of managing waste – reduce, reuse and recycle. The group then completed an audit of the school, checking each classroom and office had two bins (one for non-recyclable waste and another for recycling).
After completing this, the children created posters to let everyone know what items could be put in each bin. The week ended with a visit from Katie and Stuart (Durham County Council) who led a talk for the whole school on what can and cannot be recycled and what happens to our recycling.
One of the eco warriors said, “We all need to do our bit to reduce waste to help save our planet. It also helps the animals as they can get hurt.”
