Reusing in the old goldtown

It would appear that September 09 is all about going back to schools I haven't been to in ages. It's so good to be back in Arrowtown Primary. 5 middles classes were the first to see me in my mamouth two week visit.

1. As usual there were some very imaginative creations with the reusing objects in a bag game. What I do with this activity is;
2. Split the class into five groups
3. Each group gets a brown paper bag with three items in it
4. The items get pulled out one at a time and then each group gets 30 seconds to give as many alternative uses for the item as possible
5. Once we've been round the groups three times they all get a minute and a half to come up with something that all three items can be made into

Have a look below at some of the super cool desk tidies and piggy banks that these guys made, great work!
