Recyclable Shards!

After learning that 95% of the Shard was constructed from recycled materials, we had a go at creating our own models of the Shard using only recyclable and reusable materials.







What other recyclable materials could you use to build models of other buildings?

  1. You can make it with a big piece carboard like on the floor and the windows are made out of metal because if it is glass it will break.And stick all the thing on the carboard

    1. That's a good idea, Issac. I like the way you have thought about adding a different material for the windows. What about the other buildings we saw on our trip? What recycled materials could we use to build models of them?

  3. Well, seeing your pictures I can tell that you were using straws, so maybe try using some plastic to make the shard.

    1. Yes, plastic would be good to use, especially as so many thing we can recycle are made from plastic. What about the George Inn or Borough Market, Year 3? Which recyclable materials could we use to make them?
