Green Week

This week was Green Week at Owai!
Did you know Owairaka is an enviro school, and we recycle our rubbish where we can. We have different coloured bins for different types of rubbish.
We spent time making 
sure we know what rubbish goes in what bin by sorting different types of rubbish into the right bin.

                       Then we visited              the places where the bins are emptied.

The empty milk cartons get flattened out and put into this special milk bin.

 What do you think might be in this special bin?

 Did you guess worms? This is our worm bin!

 We also made our way to the compost bin which is where we empty our fruit scraps.

What do you think happens to the compost?

We emptied our landfill rubbish into the yellow bin, and our paper recycling into the black bin.

What a busy afternoon of recycling we had!
