We checked the calendar for the different national 'enviro events' in term 3 then voted for our favourite - 'Second Hand September' was the winner.
We organised a 'SWAP-tember' event!
The students brought in clothes, shoes, books and toys they no longer wanted. They got swap 'tokens' to spend the following week and earned enviro points for their class.
Some of the year 5/ 6 students did a reading activity thinking about HOW 'swapping' clothes and toys is good for the environment.
DID YOU KNOW...
...40% OF CLOTHING MADE GLOBALLY IS NEVER SOLD! (What a waste!)
... BY 2050 THE AMOUNT OF UNWORN CLOTHES COULD STRETCH TO MARS AND BACK!
Our 'SWAP-tember event was a big success!
-> LOTS of families supporting this initiative by sending things in
-> the students were excited for the anticipation of getting things that were 'new'
-> LOTS of students visited to the stalls to use their swap tokens and get some fantastic 'new' books, clothes and toys!
