This term, Year 2 has been inquiring into recycling and repurposing materials under the theme ‘Sharing the Planet’.
We have inquired into:
- The different forms of materials
- The process of recycling
- Individual and collective responsibilities towards the planet.
Throughout this unit, our students have had the opportunity to conduct experiments to support their learning. These include investigating the properties of materials and creating playdough out of household items.
Year 2 had the opportunity to learn how Indigenous communities create objects using materials from the land. This was led by Mr Shaun Humphries, our First Nations Liaison Officer.
At the end of our unit, students used their knowledge of recycling and repurposing materials by coming up with designs for something new. An example of this is by using milk bottles, bottle caps and paper to create a toy car.
