This year we have trialled a number of different projects to promote having a
WRAPPER FREE LUNCH!
Term 1: Each class had a 'tick chart' and ticked their name each time they were wrapper free. At the end of each '5 week block' (half a term) names were randomly selected to win prizes.
Term 2: We formed an enviro group that followed the action learning cycle and identified soft plastic as one area we could still focus on as a way of reducing our school waste. The students came up with different ideas then voted... the 'Enviro Scavenger Hunt' was the most popular.
The enviro group students created posters. These were then put up around the school showing different lunchbox items. They students had to answer questions about what was in the image;
e.g. How many different rainbow fruits were in the lunchbox?
How much are the Cookies in the Jar mix that we sell?
Term 3: Our focus this term was promoting having healthy food in our lunchboxes as we saw many students didn't seem to have much fruit and vegetables for lunch.
The 'Rainbow Lunchbox Challenge' started!
Each week students had to have a different 'rainbow coloured' fruit and vegetable in their lunchbox. If they did; they showed a monitor, collected a slip and went in the prize draw for that week.
Prizes included books, 'Baking with a Buddy' vouchers, 2nd hand toys and double passes for Paradice Botany! These were a huge hit! A massive THANK YOU to Paradice Botany for giving our students a chance to skate, putt or laser tag!
Term 4: ??? The big question is, what do we do next?
Watch this space to see what our enviro students come up with!
