Students Taking Action

Please Use Recycled Toilet Paper! 

Dear  Parents and Teachers,

 

The Tiger Quoll is endangered because of deforestation if you would like to help this cute animal and its many friends you should use recycled toilet paper.

 

Here are some interesting facts and reasons why we must stop:

  • The world creates 83 million rolls of toilet paper a day.
  • Each person uses 100 rolls a year.
  • 1 tree makes 200 rolls.
  • We use half a tree to clean our bottoms per year.
  • By the time you are ten you will have killed 5 whole trees.
  • When you are 80 you have used 40 trees to wipe your bottom.
  • 1 large tree supplies enough oxygen for 4 people per day.
  • Recycling toilet paper saves 50% on energy and 90% on water. 

If we do not use recycled toilet paper this will happen:

  • 3.85 billion trees will die each year for bottom cleaning.
  • Animals like the Tiger Quoll will become extinct.
  • In 250 years there will be no trees left in the world.
  • 400 billion birds will have no homes.
  • The more trees we cut down the less oxygen that will get produced for us to breath.

Did you know that bamboo recycled toilet paper is more eco friendly and sustainable?

Samara showed action by independently writing a report on our Unit of Inquiry 'Living things live in different places where their needs are met'. She discussed our current Line of Inquiry 'Different types of habitats'.

Well done Samara!

Alex (1B)

Alex (1B) showed action this week by independently writing a report on our Unit of Inquiry 'Living things live in different places where their needs are met'.  Alex wrote about this week’s habitat, 'rainforests'. Alex confidently presented her report to the class.

Well done Alex!

Mia L (2A)

Mia in 2A has been focusing on developing her confidence when communicating with her peers. She has taken action, by preparing some information at home about mapping as part of our Unit of Inquiry on 'How we organise ourselves'. Mia shared her book titled 'You are here' and spoke about scales, grids, compass points and how to read maps.

 

 

We were so impressed with her knowledge and the way she shared this with her peers. Well done!
