December 2022 - While we have been working on our reusable sandwich wrappers, we sometimes had to wait in order to use the sewing machines. We decided to use this time to make something useful and contribute to our goal of improving the environment we live in. That’s why we decided we could recycle paper to make beautiful fridge magnets. It has been really good fun. We roll the paper tightly and we shape it like a small snail or a fish using glue. 

 

December 2022 -In order to minimise the amount of waste we generate, we have designed and created our own sandwich wrapper recycling old fabric. Our aim is to stop bringing our snacks wrapped in plastic and aluminium. 

We have learned to cut the patterns and to stitch the different parts as well as to use the sewing machine. It has been a very hands-on experience that we love!

Our sandwich wrapper can be used everyday and will help us reduce the waste we generate at school. We hope to extend the initiative to the rest of the students of our school.

 

December 2022 - To become more aware of how the air we breathe is affected by lots of different variables, we have measured it with a tool we borrowed from the Town’s Resources Library. We have taken measurements in different parts of the school: indoors, outdoors, with open windows, with closed windows, with more or less people in the rooms…

The conclusion we have reached is that the quality of the air we breathe changes due to a number of factors. It has been a useful experience to understand how pollution and the invisible particles in the air vary based on many circumstances.
