This Year 5 Can We Create an Upcycled Product? Activity is a great resource if you are looking at recycling with your class. This activity helps children consider what we throw away and what could potentially be used again via upcycling. Children will design their own product using old items to promote reuse rather than throwing away into landfills. This activity can be used with either Year 5 or Year 6 and is also part of our sustainability offering.
