KS1 had a wonderful visit from Sally, where we learnt all about the importance of reducing, reusing, recycling and recreating. The children enjoyed thinking about the properties of different materials and used their scientific knowledge to sort a variety of items.

We also played a fun game where we explored magnetism and learnt about materials such as steel, silver and aluminium. The children then took part in an exciting activity following the recycling journey of a baked bean can and discovered how materials can be reused to make new products.

To finish the session, everyone made a magnet for their fridge at home to remind their families how to recycle household waste correctly. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that the children thoroughly enjoyed!
