Composting Introduction
The School Council are the driving force behind a composting intiative at Firwood Manor. We now have composting bins within school and the Council meet regularly to assess the progress.
The children have written an introduction below.
Mrs. Stanley came from into school from Oldham Council to tell us about composting. She told us what can go into the composting bin and what can not.
The next thing we did was play a game called 'To Compost', we had to look at the picture that Mrs. Stanley was holding up and either run to the compost bin or run to the normal waste bin.
Mrs. Stanley then told us if we were right or not. She then taught us about dry and wet compost, we all got a card and had to put it in the black or green bin. If it was wet we put it in the green bin and if it was dry we put it in the black bin.
Finally Mrs. Stanley told us about all of the bugs that can get into the bin and what they do. For example a worm helps to purify.
