Year 3 have been on a very informative trip to the Greater Manchester Recycling Centre and they were fantastic at representing Bowker Vale. During our trip we have toured the recycling centre and saw how the MRF sorts through the mixed recycling brought from all the areas in Greater Manchester. The children were able to apply what they have learned in science this year to help them work out how magnets helps us recycle!

The children did a great job applying what they had learned about recycling and were able to put their rubbish in the correct bins after lunch, we scored 38 out of a possible 40 points! Before leaving, we talked about how we can reuse things before looking to throw them out and do this alongside our efforts to recycle to reduce the amount of waste generated.

What a fantastic trip!
