EWWR and ZERO WASTE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS made by Finnish pupils
from OULU TEACHER TRAINING SCHOOL
EWWR in Finland; Oulu University Teacher Training School:
How to create zero waste Christmas decorations
In our school we asked the pupils to check with their parents what kind of recycling materials they have at home. They brought a lot of different materials: empty rolls of toilet paper, aluminium lids, a lot of little balls of yarns, cutted wooden pieces, plastic bottles, glass pots, buttons etc. We also got empty milk cartons from the school kitchen.
Our pupils - about 90 first, second, fourth and fifth graders- planned and made different kind of Christmas decorations. E.g second graders crocheted and glued the crochets around the plastic bottles or glass pots in order to create elfs. Painted and decorated milk cartons turned to be elf houses. At the end of the EWWR process in our classes we had many kind of decorations to be hung into the Christmas trees but also a nice ELF VILLAGE with tens of houses and elfs and other characters and decorative items.
One of our classes worked also with parents so that the pupils who had been working with recycling and ecological materials taught their parents (25) to create ZERO WASTE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. Our pre-service teachers (8) were involved in this project aswell.
Here is a description how the pre service teachers were involved when we were working with EWWR in Oulu University Teacher Training School: EWWR project by Sanni and Sanna.pdf
Romanian pupils from Scoala Gimnaziala " Nicolae lorga" Sibiu created a zero waste Christmas tree.
Some of them use plastic bottles, paper and reusable materials. The children collected green plastic bottles and brought them to school. They grouped the bottles in a circle and then glued them using the adhesive tape. They did the same for each level of the fir tree, using fewer and fewer bottles. This is how our ecological fir tree was born. When everything was ready, the children decorated it with balloons and ornaments made of paper, cotton or plastic materials. It was a special delight because they used recyclable materials.

Another class made a Christmas tree made of textile materials. The children, helped by their parents and grandparents, cut from a textile material a fir tree that they filled with scraps of old materials or clothes that could no longer be worn. Decorations they have made of the same fabric.
