Primary school teachers, are you looking for fun and creative ways to teach about recycling? Look no further!
1. Have students brainstorm ideas for upcycling old furniture. Ask them to draw a design for their own chair and then have them present it to the class.
2. Take a field trip to a nearby recycling centre. Let the students explore the different materials and discuss their uses.
3. Create a ‘swap shop’ in the classroom. Ask the students to bring in an item of clothing or furniture they no longer need and then invite them to ‘shop’ around the classroom for something they would like to take home.
4. Hold a school-wide upcycling competition! Give students a set amount of time.
