2. Tuning In
• First we talked about what we
know about packaging. We complete
a KWL chart.
• K stands for know – we talked
about what we already know about
packaging. We did not know a lot
about packaging.
• W stands for what we want to
learn about packaging.
• L stands for what we learned
4. Where to now?
• We did not know too much about
packaging so we brought in some
packing items from home.
• We sorted all the packaging to
groups: metal, cardboard, plastic
and others.
• We has to have an others section
because not everything belonged in
the other categories.
5. What we did next…
• We looked at the packaging
and analysed if all of the
packaging was required.
• We asked: Did we need all of
this stuff?

• We can recycle many types of
packaging but not all.
• Some packaging has to be thrown
away in the bin.
• We discovered that we can reuse

design our own Easter egg packing
that was better then some we had
9. Reflections on our designs
• My Easter egg is made out of tin
foil with a small bit of string and
cardboard. All of the items can be
re-used. Sophia
• My package is made out of wood,
paint and a ribbon. You can re-use it
to put muffins and flowers to give
away. Jessica
• Mine is made out of plastic so the
egg doesn’t break and you can
10. • My packaging has more chocolate
than box. Riley
• My basket for the egg and toy
bunny is a good idea because you can
use it all the time. It is made out of
wood. Katija
• Mine is made out of plastic, you can
re-use it as another box. Ruby
• Made out of cardboard and wood
so you can re-use it again then
recycle. Cooper
