Tread Lightly Caravan

On 4th and5th October, Years 5and 6 did some activities at the Tread Lightly Caravan. The purpose of Tread Lightly Caravan coming was to teach us about recycling, waste of electricity and water. There were 6 activities that made us learn and think. We learned that a lot of electricity and water is needed to power objects.

 When you throw the parts away that are found in computers and mobile phones etc, the mercury in parts could injure and kill someone. We had a competition between groups where we had to match the parts of the computer to a card. The winning group got a prize. We did lots of other activities and we learned that we need to save our environment.

We had lots of fun in the Tread Lightly caravan and learned a lot of new information. 

The exercise bike converted kinetic energy into electrial energy so that we could learn how much energy it takes to power different appliances.

We learned about all the different parts inside electrial goods and that it is important to recycle and dispose of them carefully.
