Grade 3/4s initiative to help the environment!

Grade 3/4 have learnt how the batteries that are not put away safely are causing harm to the Earth. These flat and unwanted batteries can leak chemicals into the environment and poison animals if they are not disposed of correctly. They could even possibly start fires in landfill rubbish if they come in contact with metal and cause poisonous chemicals to spread into the environment. 

The 3/4s have leant how to correctly dispose of batteries in a safe manner and have decided as a class, to create a safe battery drop off point for the families of Lumen Christi.

To help support the 3/4 ‘Protect the Earth’ initiative, follow these steps to safely dispose of your unwanted batteries.

• Put sticky tape on the positive and negative sides of the batteries.

• Put them in a plastic bag.

• Bring them to the school office and drop them off in the ‘safe drop off point’
