Rubbish Day

On Tuesday, we enjoyed a ‘Rubbish Day’ organised by Reverend Julie. Throughout the day the children explored the Story of Creation from Genesis and how the Bible tells us to be good stewards of God’s amazing world. The children enjoyed making Earth Day Marshmallows and Dirt Puddings, as they explored ways they can look after the Earth. They also created some fantastic junk models using recyclable materials. Throughout the day, the children focused on the 3 R’s – REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE. The day concluded with a fabulous game of compost bingo and we twinned our kitchen bin with a refuge centre in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our support is helping to fund social enterprise that helps creates jobs for over 4000 people who are employed to collect plastic waste and recycle it into brooms and paving blocks.
