European Week for Waste Awareness

The children of the Junior Artists Club spent time coming up with ideas on how to reuse Pot Noodle containers and Milk bottles, before sending them to be recycled. The children came up with ideas for Reusing Pot Noodle pots including using them as skittles, flowerpots, cup&ball games, and telephones!

The Reuse of the plastic milk bottles included, Scoops, toys (halloween bats), glue pots,& water holder for their paint brushes. They also created a stunning artwork that promoted Reuse and Reduce by creating an Iris pattern of recycled birthday wrapping paper (courtesy of Holly).

They then hosted an afternoon of information, quizzes, and making things using recycled materials. Visitors spent an enjoyable afternoon finding out about Reusing and Reducing waste and joining in the games.

Recycling to create Flowers

For the last 2 weeks the children have been using discarded materials to create their own flowers and mini gardens in a box.
They have used a variety of techniques and materials, exploring the textures, shapes, and flexibility of the materials. Also making a right mess with paint and glue!

They have been supported by Carole, Sheila, and Emma.

Next week we are going to try and create our own limericks.
