Wow! What a journey it has been this term with our enterprise. We started by focussing on rubbish and how it effects us. We looked at lots of ways we could help; recycling, reducing, reusing and upcycling. We looked at things we throw away but could use again!
This lead to our fantastic idea to turn old t-shirts into bags. This helps us reduce our use of plastic bags and also reusing something we would usually throw away and upcycle it into something we could use! Have a look at our journey and our final products!
After sewing, we bundled them up in spirals to tie dye!!
We are proud of them!!
At Elm Park School our Inquiry is about enterprise this year. Year 2 are learning how to be enterprising, solve problems and use values such as perseverance and initiative. We look forward to sharing our journey with you!

Our messages!
Room 10 did a brainstorm of all the messages we wanted to tell the world about recycling to use on our upcycled t-shirts.
Then we used an app called 'Word Photo' to create our messages.
We think they look pretty cool and can't wait to put them on our bags!
