Learning Objectives:
- To understand in simple terms how food cans are made and the

that are not recycled. i.e. They go into landfill sites and slowly
rust away.
- To understand how symbols can be used to explain decisions
and outcomes.

child.
- Paste and spatulas, and some A3 sized mounting paper. (Optional
see ‘differentiation.’)

food.
