NEW BIN SIGNS
Nazareth are now the proud owners of some amazing new bin signage that aims to show what waste corresponds with which bin. The process of designing, printing and sticking the signs on was an extensive one. A member from the parent community, Mrs Tompkin, guided us patiently through the process by designing us signs to meet our specific needs, printing and waterproofing them and then coming and spending an afternoon preparing our bins and sticking them on. The Nazareth staff and students thank Mrs Tompkin for her patience, design and signage skills. This has been a massive effort on her behalf and we are truly grateful for her expertise and willingness to help us on our mission to becoming Rubbish Rebels.
LIDS 4 KIDS
Thank you again for your amazing contributions. We have some students here working hard to count up the lids so we can give you all a count of how we are going. This process takes time as the lids have to be sorted into colours and shades, counted and in some cases cleaned. Can we request that you pull out all foam inserts from milk bottle lids and rinse all lids as some have developed mould that can be hazardous for our students to come into contact with.
WASTE FREE WEDNESDAYS
Our Waste Free Wednesdays have been a hit with many students taking part in this day each week. We have been handing out our gnome trophies to the classes who have had the highest amount students bring a waste free lunch on Wednesdays. If you have any questions about how to achieve a waste free lunch, please have a look at the attachment that was sent out on Compass. Mrs Rowles has been in contact with a few sustainable businesses and has secured some discount codes to use on full price items on their websites. The websites are as follows:

- Eco Shop Co- https://www.ecoshopco.com/

OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DAY
Some classes at Nazareth took part in Outdoor Classroom Day on the 7th of November. This event aims to encourage teachers to take their class outside for the day or a lesson as part of connecting to our environment. Please enjoy some pictures from the Year 3 classes who wrote narratives about the images they could see when looking at clouds.
