First we had a quick play on the playground and all the children loved that! Then we split into groups. There were four groups. 2 groups went and saw the lovely ladies at the Cottage Pantry. They told us about their packaging and gave us free brown bags and a lolly cake mix. Their packaging is interesting because it has no pictures, but has a window so you can see the product. Their packaging can be all recycled.
At the supermarket we got to go out the back to see the crusher. The crusher squashes all the cardboard boxes and then they make them into big heavy bales that we couldn't pick up, too heavy! The cardboard gets recycled and made into other packaging. The plastic gets recycled and made into buckets. We were given a free fresh apple, that was very yummy! We had to do a worksheet about packaging and recycling.
Thank you to the Cottage Pantry, Supervalue, the bus driver, the parent helpers and the teachers for a wonderful fun learning time.
