What can we make out of plastic bags?

After lots of discussions and experimenting, we had great fun  trying to reuse the plastic bags. We are happily showing off some of our creations. Maybe you might have other suggestions that you can share with us.

Alex made a necklace. We suggested that he puts flowers on it too to make it more colourful.

 Aliyah made a headband and a bow. She sure is happy about her work.

 Hard at work with Whaea Jocelyn. Lani and Alex are weaving bookmarks.

 Edward, Martin and Nathan tried making a parachute. They are going to have fun throwing their parachute up in the air and watching it fall. Martin has spend time at home making his own parachute. Good on you Martin!!

 Such concentration and team work as Haniel and Raymond worked on their parachute. They had fun with it afterwards. Great work boys!!

 Lani created wrist bands. The smile says it all. 

 Here is a poi whaea made. Wow!! We can now learn how to twirl it. Sarah is going to have a go.

 More bow for Nadia's hair. She looks pretty and a cute smile to go with it too.
  

Lani brought this hat that was woven by her grandmother. It is made out of plastic bags from the bread wrappings. That is sooo clever. Thanks Lani for sharing.

Here is a rope we are weaving. We will use it in our classroom for hanging our displays. 

So what is our next step in being a good  kaitiaki?

Our biggest goal is to encourage people to use stronger bags that we can reuse for our shopping.
We are in the process of finding out how we can get these bags so we can share them with our community. This means that less plastic bags will be used. That will be great for our environment.
If you can help us with this please let us know. Thank you
