Room 7's Rubbish Audit

The Whero reading group did a rubbish audit after lunch today as part of our Reduce, Reuse, Recycle topic. They found Room 7 students threw 31 pieces of plastic, 30 pieces of paper and 39 pieces of food scraps into the classroom rubbish bin.Our goal is to reduce the rubbish in our rubbish bin down to zero waste. We will be working on ways to achieve this throughout the term.

Anzac Biscuits

Room 7 enjoyed making and eating Anzac biscuits. We learnt that most probably the wives and girlfriends of the soldiers at war made these biscuits and sent them via ships for them to enjoy on the battle field. As the recipe does not contain eggs, the biscuits were fine to eat, even after a two month journey on a ship.
