SHANNON CREEK DAM AND RECYCLING CENTRE

EXCURSION

Our first stop was the tip. We were split into two

groups: 3 to 6 and K to 2. We went on a tour first. We

went to the Green waste which had a tunnel 24 metres

long of compost and it stayed in there for 14 days. It

then sat outside for a few more weeks before it was

ready. When it was nearly ready it goes into the

shredder and it shreds sticks and plastic. Then we went

to a shed with recycled rubbish and they made squares

of cans and glass together and paper and cardboard

together. Then I saw a soccer ball and a mountain of

rubbish at the landfill section.

Then we swapped groups we went in a can thing with

red bins, green bins and yellow bins to get an idea

what goes in each. We also looked at how to conserve

the environment.

We then went to Shannon Creek Dam. It was at 8.3

metres high, the highest was 7.8 meters on the

overflow. Then we walked across the bridge and went

back down again. We saw a remote control lawn

mower and how the pumps work. Then we went back

to school. We all enjoyed it.
