SCRAPtastic Swallows is suitable for KS2. In this workshop students design, make and create beautiful bird decorations from recycled bottles. The workshop highlights the affect of pollution on habitats and is a great hook for empowering students to think about the impact their actions can have on their local environments. The workshop can be adapted to match any theme of your choice – other birds are available!
“The students loved the simplicity of creating the swallows and engaged in conversation about the joy of making things and importance of recycling. What a clever idea and they are so beautiful.” Netherthong Primary School – Teacher feedback.
A fantastic workshop to explore waste and recycling; it gives real understanding to students as to where our rubbish goes, and how by thinking carefully about individual actions we’re starting to make a difference to our local and global environments.
