CHILDREN enjoyed a novel way of learning the three 'R's' 'reducing, reusing and recycling' on Wednesday last week (Jan 30).
Pupils at St Mary's Roman Catholic School, in Rockingham Road, Uxbridge, were given a chance to deal with recycling hands-on when they learned to classify pre-cleaned rubbish from a typical dustbin bag.
The workshops used the 'Ollie Recycles' CD-ROM package, designed to encourage children aged 7-11 to investigate waste management and look at the issues around landfill and recycling.
Workshops have also been held at Dr Triplett's School, in Henmen Lane, Hayes; Colham Manor, in Violet Avenue, Hillingdon, and Bourne Junior School, in Cedar Avenue, Uxbridge.
