Discuss what recycling is.

- Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects.

The different types of bins:

- Compost – food scraps
- Rubbish – general waste
- Recycling – cans, paper, bottles

The bins:

1. Compost: Green
Compost is organic matter that has been decomposed in a process called composting.
It is used, for example, in gardens, landscaping, horticulture, urban agriculture and organic
farming.

2. Recycling: Yellow
3. General waste: Red/blue
- Things that can’t be recycled to make something else.

Play recycling game on board. Students will have to identify which bin the rubbish goes into. Use
pop sticks to choose students.

Student focus:
Students will cut and paste which items need to be placed in the correct bins.

Differentiation:
- Students of lower academic ability will have less items to sort.
- Students of a higher academic ability will be provided with a challenge:
‘ Can you draw any other items that might be placed in these bins?’
