Year 1 at School 21 want to make recycling rule in Newham (and beyond!). We realised that our school was not recycling as much as it could and we wanted to try to change this. Our wish is to make a difference to how our school and local community recycles and to reduce our waste.
We have decided to do some research to see what the biggest problems are in our local area of Newham and how we can try to educate our community and support them in becoming more sustainable. We will be learning about how rubbish impacts our planet and what we can do to reduce our personal impact. At the end of our project we will be producing an advert to be played in central parts of our community (we hope Westfield shopping centre!) to educate members of the public and to convince them to do more to recycle and avoid plastic. We will also be going out into the community and holding mini campaigns to spread the word. Above all, we want our school to be more sustainable and to reduce, reuse and recycle.
