During our term 1 Integrated unit we are looking at what is sustainabilty and how we can create a sustainable school. We will look at ways that we can Rethink, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We will look at ways of caring for our environment and reducing our impact on the Earth. We will identify local school and community issues and ways that we can improve our school to help our environment.

Here you will find links to help with our learning. These include interactive websites, movies, games and resources. We will also be able to post up our work to share our learning.

On bubbl.us you can create colourful mind maps. We are going to create mind maps online to show our understandings from our Sustainability Unit. We can all work on the same mind map as a grade or create our own. Click on the bubbl.us picture to go to the site. Once you have created your mind map, you can continue to add new ideas as you are learning. Have fun!
