Year 1 - Eco Warrior Incursion

Urban Upcycle Year 1 Incursion

On Monday the Year 1 students participated in an Urban Upcycle Incursion. 

We learnt about:

• What can & can’t be thrown in your household rubbish and recycling bins.
• What actually happens when we throw something 'away' and the repercussions of sending waste to landfill.
• How can we reduce the production of waste through practicing the Sustainability Rs, such as Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose.

We commenced the incursion with a short discussion about being ‘eco warriors’. After that, students used cleaned and repurposed craft items which were provided by Urban Upcycle to produce their very own masterpiece.

Here are some thoughts from the students:
