Activities
The activities on both buses are varied and can be adapted to fit most subjects and pupil's abilities and Key Stages. Evaluation forms are left after each bus visit for staff to make comments, and activities are modified in response to this feedback.
It is recommended that you use the Recycling Bus in two main ways:
- To help support and promote recycling activities in school. Contact wmt@cambridgeshire.gov.uk
- By linking recycling activities to the school curriculum or your current topic. The activities menu below shows a small range of activities, but please contact us to suggest your own sessions.
Cost
A minimum charge of £150 for the day to book the bus with discounts for large group bookings:
- £5 per student or,
- £4 per student for 60 students or more for certain activity days or,
- £3 per student with 90 students or more for specialized activity days.
