Here Becky talks with Jo who is an amazing Educational Resource specialist
We look at the ethos behind recycling, re-using\\xa0 and\\xa0 encouraging sustainability with children,\\xa0
Jo's background is as an Early Years Teacher and a play lead for open access play projects\\xa0 with the ethos of play being Free to use, free to choose, free to come and go as you please.

Jo and Becky chat about the\\xa0 use of\\xa0 real open-ended objects, she uses china and inspires the children to explore the opportunities this brings through risk management and the use of objects that are not plastic .\\xa0 We explore understanding the world through nostalgia and looking at the history of the objects with the children (all of that from a tea cup)!!\\xa0 Complete trust in the children and in our\\xa0 skill as professionals is to pin-point when it is we can support.\\xa0

We look at how\\xa0 we support play and extend this in our own environment.
The vision for Jo and the the team at The Recycling Shop now is to reduce landfill and build communities.\\xa0 Jo talks about the treasure and the gold dust of re-using\\xa0 these real items and reintroducing them\\xa0 into education.

This is the place to go and help save our planet and at the same time the children start to understand that new is not needed and recycling and re-using\\xa0 is the way forward.\\xa0 You can grab an absolute bargain and we think you could resource your whole setting from this glorious recycling shop. \\xa0 If you decide to have a road trip head to Sheppard Way, Onslow Road, Newent, Glos or pop online and buy online.
