Walt: Explain and show the recycling process

We are going to finish off the term looking at the ways in which we can recycle and show respect to our environment. We will link this back to all of the things that we have learnt over the term and focus on what we can do to make a difference and how we will continue to show respect for the rest of the year to our environment. As a school we are going to start recycling so will get the ball rolling by looking at what ways we can recycle and what recycling is.
