On Friday Mrs Wilson tipped out our rubbish bin and we were surprised by the amount of rubbish we had, and the smell was something else - yuck!
Some of us had to go out for fresh air because we felt sick.
We found old sandwiches, apple cores, banana skins, plastic wrappers, chip packets, half eaten pies, yoghurt pottles and paper.
Because we are just a small school we didn't have alot of rubbish but we think we can reduce the amount of it by half.
We are going to look at ways of recycling the food waste and reducing the amount of paper waste from the hand towels. We already put our old cardboard and plastic milk bottles out on Wednesday with the blue recycle bin.
We are investigating the use of composting, worm farms or recycling through Envirowaste.

Well done Tomahawk School. I am pleased to see that someone is aware that every person on this planet makes for a whole lot of people, and that how we behave with our rubbish is actually a really big issue. I bet seeing the contents of your rubbish bin gave you a shock - and hopefully a wake up call. Imagine what a big school rubbish load would look like. And then imagine a big city - WOW - how gross.
So make that change today and help us to teach others to do the same.
I guess you chose green font because you want to present a clean green image - but it's very hard to read - how could you present the image AND make it easy to read next time?
Keep up the good work.
