During the second meeting it was great to meet up with everyone again and we were warmly received at the school with a band.

 A birthday cake was produced for one of our students which was a lovely touch.

We had a terrific lunch and tour around a winery and visited a sugar factory and quarry.

United Kingdom: recycling campaign and creating maps of the school's region using recyclable materials April 2013

We collected lots of recycled goods to use for this project and had several groups working on this.

After collecting the rubbish we upcycled some things to make items to sell at a recycled market

Each group chose a local tourist site or famous region of which to create a model.

We chose to make the following areas/ landmarks

Lancashire

Pendle hill

Liverpool

Blackpool

To make our models we have used recycled materials such as;

Sweet wrappers

Plastic containers

Cardboard

Used light bulb

Old maps

 Used paper

Straws

 Carrier bags

 Paper towels

The models took a lot of time and research but

 this did not stop us from having a fun time

 making everything together as a team!

United Kingdom : Environment education in school

United Kingdom : Environment education in school Dec 2012 - Jan 2013

We invited a speaker to come to school who taught us about the importance of recycling, with the main message of 'Reduce, Re-use and Recycle'.

The speaker worked well with our students and taught them how to reduce rubbish and how it is sorted at their plant. We were invited to go to the plant to watch what happens to all the rubbish that is collected and how it is sorted.

The centre is called Global Renewables
