Year 4 students from Cowes Primary School with their ‘rot pot’ compost bins.
Pupils at Cowes and Yarmouth Primary Schools have been learning about recycling, by turning rubbish into musical instruments and mini composters.
Focusing on everyday objects which are often thrown away, they’ve been finding out how a little imagination can transform things. Pupils in Yarmouth took part in a fashion show of clothes made from rubbish, while children in Cowes created new paper from old, musical instruments from a variety of items that would normally have been thrown away. Children have also been making small ‘rot pots’, as they learn about composting.
