Recycling and Composting Assemblies and Workshops for Primary Schools

Warwickshire Waste Partnership has developed assemblies and workshops to inform children how to recycle, what happens to their waste, and composting.

Activities can be adapted to meet the needs of the school and age of pupils.  We can offer assemblies to the school and specific year groups along with classroom sessions on making paper pots and planting seeds, the compost game, various film footage relating to composting, and general advise to the school on ways recycling could be improved in school.  Please note that the paper pot session is most suited to Year 5 & 6.

Wipeout Waste at Lunchtime

Take part in the waste reduction challenge and hold a Wipe out Waste at Lunchtime day at school.

Composting Workshops

If your school is keen to get composting, contact us to arrange a series of compost specific workshops or assemblies. We can also visit to give you advice on how to set up a compost bin, and explain in more detail what you need to do to compost successfully.

Composting SOS

Or maybe your school is already composting? Is it not very successful? Then contact us to arrange a compost SOS. In the compost SOS sessions, we can work with a member of staff or an Eco-club or class group. Your current compost bin will be assessed and advice is given on how to improve the composting process.

These are free sessions but in return all we ask is that a flyer promoting our compost bin offers are placed in all children's book bags to go home to parents.

We wish to offer this opportunity to Warwickshire Primary Schools on a Tuesday or Wednesday, from November 2017 until July 2018.  Places are limited, so if you are interested, please email me at your earliest convenience to waste@warwickshire.gov.uk to discuss your requirements and to arrange a suitable time to visit school.
