We
were lucky enough to receive some new toy work vehicles this week that we have
been playing with in the classroom; a tip truck, a fire engine, a school bus
and a rubbish truck;
“It’s
not a rubbish truck, it’s a recycle truck” Thomas explained to us
“You
recycle the paper” said Angus
“Paper”
agreed Charlie A
Inspired
by the children’s interest, we introduced some toy rubbish bins to our play and
started shredding some paper rubbish.
“Put some paper in the rubbish bin” explained
Charlie M
“A
rubbish truck takes it to the dump” Dougal informed the other children, “da
green bin is for weeds and the yellow one needs recycling” he continued
“What
things can we recycle?” questioned the teacher
“Some
cans and some paper and some bottles” answered Dougal
“Can
I put my rubbish in the truck?” asked Jock
“No,
full” he explained as he went and emptied his rubbish truck and returned to
collect Jock’s rubbish.
We
look forward to further exploring the concepts of rubbish and recycling next
week.
Best
wishes,
Jess,
Kerry, Amelia and Nicole
