HOW CAN WE SAVE THE PLANET?

For over a month now our 6th graders have been asking themselves this question. We've focused on plastic pollution and what we should and shouldn't do to avoid it. Here is an idea by our student Abdul Ghafar. More to come soon...

What can we make by recycling things?

Today I am going to explain What Can We Make By Recycling things. 

As we're learning about recycling, waste, saving water…

I had an idea, why not make a blog about what can we make by recycling?

PIGGY BANK 

What You’ll need:

• Empty and cleaned water bottle 

• Pink craft paint

• Construction paper

• Black marker

• Tape or glue

• Scissors

Step 1: Paint your entire bottle using the pink craft paint and foam paint brush.

Let it dry completely before moving onto the

next step!

Step 2: cut a rectangle in the top of the bottle. This will be used to insert coins or small treasures into the piggy bank (see above photo).

Step 3: Use the construction paper to cut out ears, legs and a curly tail for your pig. Use the marker to draw details onto the limbs (see above photo), as well as eyes on the bottle. Cover the water bottle lid with construction paper and draw two lines for the pig’s nose.

Step 4: Use tape or glue to attach the pig’s limbs to the bottle.

Now start adding coins to the piggy!
