Recycling

Powerpoint containing 27 slides.
Updated to include a Reggie and Ruby’s bright idea. ‘One Planet Earth’ Global set of colours for recycling.
This resource introduces different materials that can be recycled. I have designed Reggie Robot to help to engage children with recycling rubbish and also to hopefully simplify the process by matching Reggie’s rubbish collectors to the colours of the outside bins at home. The first step to ‘recycle right’ is to put things in the right bin. The resource has been designed using the colours of Manchester City Council bins but can easily be edited to match any outside bins to the colours of Reggie’s rubbish collectors… The children can engage in a sorting rubbish game. Slide 9 revisits the mathematical language, most and least.
The PowerPoint has 27 slides and talks about the the importance of recycling and includes photographs of both natural and man made materials. I have tried to make the resource as simple as possible so that children in the upper stages of reception and in Key stage 1 will be able to engage with it. Early introduction to recycling is so important. The resource includes the potential to extend learning or simplify further. Finally, there is an inspiration to design and invent, I hope you and the children enjoy it.
