Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Use this three-lesson Year 3/4 ESR scheme of work to explore each word in the phrase: reduce, reuse, recycle.
Teach your class the reasons why recycling is important and how they can begin to reduce the non-recycleable waste they produce. They help each other think of alternatives and ways to avoid waste, including helping others in their school and the wider community.
This ESR scheme of work comes with all you need to educate your class on the importance of preserving, reusing and protecting the Earth’s finite resources.
What can be recycled?
Engage your class with the recycling process and investigate what happens after they put something into a recycling bin. Encourage your class to think of the different materials that products are made from and why some items are not easily recycled.
