Tread Lightly Caravan Session


Today room 10 had a lesson at the Tread Lightly Caravan. At the Tread Lightly Caravan we learnt all about how we can help the earth. We were divided into six groups we all went to our activities. The first activity that my group did was the carbon footprint. We all answered a couple of questions the computer asked if we walked, and stuff like how many people live in your house.

The next activity we did was the microscope there were insects, wool, shells, hair, and live worms from our worm farm. We looked on the screen at all the different things that were in the containers. After that we went to a computer to see how far our house is Jeromes house was the furthest away from our school.

Later on we went to the e-waste area where we learnt all about recycling electronics. We looked inside of a computers hard drive we saw the mother drive we were talking about all the different metal. There was copper, gold and silver. We thought about taking partes of the hard drive to shops so they can reuse it. The next activity we went to was the eco-bike we powered lights and different machines like a sander and heat gun.

Finally we went to geckos and vines Jerome, Alex and I played well Douglas asked the questions when we came to a vine or a gecko. It was a really fun game. We all made a pledge to help our environment. I made a pledge to take cloth bags when I go shopping. The Tread Lightly Caravan is a great place to learn how to be environmentally friendly I will use the skills I learnt at the Tread Lightly Caravan.
