On Thursday 18th March, Beth Coleman from the Somerset Waste Partnership came into school to work with the children in Fir and Yew Class. It was a seasonal workshop entitled ‘Easter egg-stravaganzer’ and the children investigated Easter egg packaging and developed their own environmentally friendly solutions to over-packing. This involved looking at the component parts of boxed Easter eggs and weighing the foil, any plastic and the cardboard to see which was the most environmentally friendly. All the children were then given an Easter egg and designed and made their own box.

Many thanks to Mrs Cheryl Howells (HLTA) who organised this event with the Somerset Waste Partnership.
