Edward, 7
Fish by Taylor aged 9
Our topic this term at school is looking at rivers. I was asked to make a piece of recycled artwork to reflect something about rivers so I decided to create a fish. The body is made from a plastic bottle and is filled with cut up pipe cleaners, and the fins are made from some paper cups that my sister had for her Mermaid birthday party. I used some textured card from a delivery box for the river, which I painted to make it look shimmery.

I’ve been learning about recycling during my Rainbow Zoom meetings and I’ve made lots of things from food items including jars and boxes. Here is my recycling superhero which I made. Say hello to Captain Recycling who likes to sing. I have used items from the house including plastic fondue sticks, cereal box, wool, paper, wrapping paper and a toilet roll for his mic. I coloured a recycling badge for him and cut out a secret hole in the back where you can store items. He also had a haircut. At night Captain Recycle not only helps out by sorting out items for recycling in local areas but his warm huge cape keeps warm some homeless people on the street like a huge blanket. He also loves to sing his slogan very loud. Please start recycling!
