Discuss what composting is and why it’s so important. - Put the students into teams of 3 or 4.
Have two labeled zones or tubs for ‘compost’ and ‘don’t compost’.
Get the students to line up in their teams a good distance from the zones or tubs.
The first person from each team collects an object card from the teacher and takes it back to their team (if you want to make this even more exciting you could use real items!).
The team discusses whether it can be composted or not before the first player runs it to the correct zone / tub.
The next child then runs to collect a new card. - Do this activity for an agreed amount of time or until all of the object cards have been used.
Go through the object cards to see if they are all correct.
To add a greater level of competition you can get each team to write or put a colored sticker on each of the cards they collect and then count up how many cards each team got correct.

Classroom management resource / display which was created to help children think about how much effort they are putting into their learning. They must move their name-tag on the thermometer according to how much effort they are putting in. It fits in well with Growth Mindset.
It can be used in a few ways.
Self Reflection: At the end of or during a lesson the children place their name-tag onto the effortometer depending on how much effort they think they are putting in.
Teachers Assessment: During the lesson the teacher can move names around depending on how they are working. I sometimes give a reward token (see our store) if a child reaches the top of the scale.
This has made a huge difference in my class as children are starting to become aware of what they are capable of. I hope it does the same for you!
