How Long Does Rubbish Take To Decompose?
Today we spent time with our buddy class to work out how long various pieces of rubbish take to decompose. We were amazed how long many things took. Some never break down! Styrofoam, plastic and glass bottles are estimated to take 1 million years or never. Even aluminum cans take 200 to 500 years. Scary!

What Art Can Tell Us
Last term we looked at many different styles of art. In groups we discussed what information the art work gave us, how it made us feel and how did the artist do that. Whether we liked it or not and why.
