Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their trips to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Mansfield this week.  This is where all the recyclable materials from our households are sorted into different types (plastics, cardboard, paper, metal) using these amazing machines.  Then they are put into bales and taken to be made into new products to start the whole recycling process again.  Who knew this could be so much fun!  An informative day where we got to put on our safety gear and look round the facility as well as spend time on activities in the Education room  We learnt so much.
