Litterless Lunch Wednesday

 
Our Craigburn Primary School buddies in Australia 
told us that they have a 
Litterless Lunch Day every week.
We thought that was a really good idea for our school.
 So... 
Bradley asked the Student Council 
if they thought it was a good idea, and they agreed.
Then...
We planned how to tell all the classes.
We made 5 groups.
 We planned a job for everyone in the group to do.
 1.  Tell the class about Litterless Lunch Day
 2.  Explain what it means, NOT to bring any wrapping to school.
 3.  Show everyone how much rubbish we collected from the playground.
 4.  Tell the classes about the rubbish videos we saw and how we are trying to save our planet.
And...
We decided to make posters for each class 
to put in their window and remind them every WEDNESDAY.
Maths Problem - How many children should work on each poster?
 
Also...
We sent Rochelle, in the office, an email
and asked her to put a notice
in the school newsletter.
We told all the Mums and Dads about
'Litterless Lunch Wednesday'
Then...
We practiced our speeches.
And...
we watched ourselves!
We talked about what we did really well,
and what we could do to improve.
Listen to our speeches now!
Do you think we improved our speeches?

On Wednesday, Bradley and Kullan went to visit each class and gave all the children with 'Litterless Lunch' an Enviro card.  Hope they win a prize at Positive Assembly on Friday!  Well done Hamilton East School, you are helping to look after our environment. 
We challenge each class to see if they can all be litterless next Wednesday.
Which class do you think will win!
