Fascinating Fact:

Recycling keeps rubbish out of nature, helping protect birds, fish, and animals from eating or tangling in it.

In KS1 Science, children learn that caring for the environment includes reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling materials. These simple choices help keep our air, land, and water clean for living things.

Key Terms

Recycle: To turn used materials, like paper or cans, into new products instead of throwing them away.
Reduce: Using less in the first place so there is less rubbish to deal with.
Reuse: Using an item again, or in a new way, instead of binning it.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What does recycling mean for KS1 children?

For KS1 children, recycling means putting certain rubbish, like paper, cardboard, cans, and some plastics, into special bins so it can be made into new things instead of being wasted.

Why is recycling important for the environment?

Recycling is important because it uses fewer new resources, saves energy, and helps stop harmful rubbish from ending up in the sea, rivers, and countryside where it can hurt animals.

How can children help with recycling at home and school?

Children can help by checking symbols on packaging, using the correct bins, reusing pots or boxes for crafts, and reminding adults not to throw recyclable items in general waste.
