**May 3rd**
Dear G5 teachers, Darcy and I have come up with our questions that we want people to know when they leave our Exhibition stand. For the Early childhood and upper primary we have the same question, we just have different ways to show the answers. We also have a different question for the Middle/High school. Unfortunately this is only 2 questions. Is this O.K.? Here are our questions: K3-G5 What things are recyclable? M/H School what is the process of recycling? Thank you for understanding, The Recycling Group =**May 3rd**= Yes K5 Lunch is at 11.20

 * To Ms. Wong and Ms. Jane**

Our names are Darcy and Maggy. We are in G5 and at the moment we are doing the Exhibitioin. For the Exhibition we are doing Recycling. For our action we are giving presentations in classrooms and putting up posters. During the presentations quite a few teachers have mentioned that there are no more recycling bins in the photocopy room and the printing room next to the G4 classrooms. Today we went and checked and they were right. Do you know about this problem? If you do, do you know what happened to the recycling bins? Are they broken? Please tell us how we can help.

Regards

Darcy and Maggy

Got this message for Mrs. Needham. Sounds like they want a presentation, but don't need a poster. I have heard from other classes too, that want a presentation and posters.

No negative responses yet.

Thanks,

Dear Teachers, We are the Recycling group for the G5 Exhibition. Our action for the Exhibition is improving the schools recycling system. To help improve the schools recycling system we need to educate everyone about recycling in case they donít know a lot about it. To help educate everyone, our idea was to put up posters so we were wondering if we could put up recycling posters in your classrooms. The posters show information on Recycling. Attached is a preview of our posters. You are welcome to give us feedback on the posters. This poster is for students who are more experienced in reading.

Thank you for your time. We understand you are very busy.

Darcy and Maggy

=**April 26th**= Teachers,
 * From Shane**

The message below (with the above attachments) was sent out to you last week. This group would like to start printing posters and getting them to you for your rooms. They were a bit hesitant to do so, however, because they hadn't heard back from many of you. So I told them I would follow up for them.

Beyond just putting up a poster, the girls are also willing to do a short presentation for your students -- just let them know.

If the I don't hear back from you tomorrow, we will assume that you have no problem with the girls doing this.

Thanks for your time,

Shane McKinney Grade 5 Teacher Hong Kong Academy

Could you please suggest two dates and times and we will check with our teacher. Regards Darcy and Maggy
 * To Ms. Stacey**

Stacey Thompson writes: I like how you included photos on the second poster. It will help younger children understand what they can and can't recycle. Maybe it might be a good idea to give a brief explanation as well as putting posters up just to make sure they understand.

Nice work!

 * To Grade 3 Teachers**

Some of you might know that right now the Grade 5's are working on the Exhibition. Our project is recycling; we are planning on helping the schools recycling system by weighing how much paper is recycled each week at school. We understand that every once in a while the Grade 3's collect the recycling. We were wondering if you would please tell us how often you collect the recycling. For our idea to wok we also need to weigh the paper that has been recycled, so could we please come with you to collect the paper?

Thank you

Darcy and Maggy
